Somewhere an old man dies
And a child is born
Mellifluous is the sound of his cries
To the ears of his mother 
It's the start of a new life
An year later the child exclaims
Ah look! it's a butterfly 
The wind blowing carries the butterfly to the sea
Down it looks to the blue and takes a dive
A head pops up from the surface 
The butterfly shrieks and away it shies 
The shark scowls and starts to swim
On its way it finds an alewife
"Oh my Lord! What beast is this?"
Before it loses its prey, the shark takes a bite
The other fish ever so lone swims to shore
There it finds a man with a butcher's knife 
It watches with awe as the old man exclaims
"We shall meet in the afterlife."
It's all a part of the journey ever so mellifluous to the ear
And we call it life

Mellifluous

4 parts Complete

Joy. Sorrow. Society. Those are the 3 basic things we experience in life. This book is the result of my trying to explain them. Albeit, it's just the tip of the iceberg. Mellifluous means smooth. It means free-flowing. Like change, the tides & seasons. 'Mellifluous' is a collection of poems aggregated from the past 7 years of writing. To all the dreamers, change-makers, helpless romantics, broken souls & observant erudites; I present my humble work. I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I (mostly) loved writing it. Thank you in advance!
