Poetry has a haunting effect on both sane and insane minds...
Music, no doubt can give a taste of tranquility;
....but verses can make one go places so extrinsic and terrifying at the same time, that one in his right mind can never dare to venture there!
"Edgar Allan Poe" has always been my favorite when it comes to mystery and macabre in the genre of poetry..
May be it's because deep down I have always been a recluse (and may be a little bit mad) and someone who enjoys melancholy (in a good way, not in a suicidal way)....for I always observed similarities and reflections of life more in melancholy than in the portrayal of happiness which in most cases seem fake to me.
Today I came across a poetry which reached out to my innermost string and struck a chord; a chord that is unfamiliar to me...
....but that's the delicacy of pain and darkness, that it helps you to be numb!!
I hope one day I make myself able enough to have his whole collection, not just on my bookshelf but inside me as well and understand the untold story that lies in between the lines of his verses!
