▪︎An Elegiac City▪︎ I've heard the ruins crying with pain for, it's dying of the ravages of time. And it fears to be a carcass someday covered by mud, obscure and unnamed. I've seen the waif shrinking in gloom for, he's battling hunger for aeons. And he fears to be a culprit one day in order to breathe, in order to survive. Of the farmer, spending restive nights for, it rained cats and dogs at his place. And the suppressed fear in his eyes Thinking of his debt and marred yields. I've my shack in the cities of melancholy where felicity is engulfed by cobwebs. Every nook of which sings elegy of woes Recalling the ruins, waif and farmer. It's been ages since a zephyr of glee has passed through my city! #rzmp180 #restzone #yqbaba #yqpoetry #city #melancholy #versesofstella #swet_a
