Singing By Myself (Revised)

A gratifying result combining temperament
chart with personality type - seem to have
been choleric and sanguine before but the
experience of years abated it to tolerance -
a phlegmatic trait; and melancholic - arts
and music are my life

Not sanguine, a cheerful attitude at work
conceals emotions, no choleric desire to take
charge of others, what a relief, it is disastrous
not meeting expectations: at school I played
and sang for mom - singing in choirs is great,
but mingling with others is not;

I love songs but cannot perform on stage;
without mom I am an a-social melancholic;
remaining behind scenes, singing by myself
shocked by paraphrase ignoring rhythm and
sound, only meaning and grammar taken

Evening Music

Here comes the moment of the shimmering hour
When praise like incense trembles from each leaf.
The evening air is redolent with grief
And waltzes gush with melancholic power.

When praise like incense trembles from each leaf,
Only the notes of violins are sour
And waltzes gush with melancholic power;
The sky is vast with beauty and with grief.

Only the notes of violins are sour;
Each heart avoids its pit of unbelief.
The sky is vast with beauty and with grief;
The sun's blood hazes in a chilly shower.

Each heart avoids its pit of unbelief,
Gathering its flecks of light into a bower;
The sun's blood hazes in a chilly shower -
Only your shining image brings relief!

Melancholic skies
Skilled at hiding mournful eyes
Cry tears of April.

When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it's just wonderful.

Even Flowers Sometimes Question of the Existence!

A tiny flower
sings
her melancholic song
and the tree is quiet as usual;
'Why you make me bloom
to the open space
as I have agoraphobia.
If I wither soon
You shouldn't bring me here,
And I go who knows where? '

Madness Infinity

Within the walls of bliss.

Comes a catatonic wave.

Death will not come swift.

Within a melancholic brain.

An opposition to serenity.

Ah, a heart determined coal.

To inflict a lasting misery.

Becomes my everlasting goal.

Though I am not driver

Though I am not driver
And driver is somebody else
Ask me where to go.

Though this area is
melancholic
Ask me to say a word
that has charming power.

Though you are not
Able to read or write
Ask me to make you
understand who you are.

The Moon And I

I love to walk on a summer night
with the moon above shining bright
with me in a sullen melancholic plight.

The night would be drab
with you out of sight
but I must cast aside
nagging thoughts out of mind
So why must i ponder over yesterday's flight
when here is the moon hunting me with its light?
