The Laugh Of The Dolorous Poem by Abdul Wahab

The Laugh Of The Dolorous

Rating: 4.4


I am laughing loudly and walking the path
As if I am the happiest man in the earth.
But I secretly carry the dolor in a cart
My heart burns and my mind is torn apart.


Depth-less is my grief
Still I walk like a king, as if,
I am the owner of the sun and the moon
Life is to me a mirage, an illusion
Better senses make me the man of renunciation.
To cut a joke, to make a fun
I laugh out loudly …the laugh of the dolorous
Though the inner soul bleeds the delirium delirious.

I feel their foolishness
As they show me their faces
Without smile and full of sternness
Their helter- skelter movements are hilarious
With out any benefit and totally ridiculous
To taunt them, to make them ludicrous.
I laugh out loudly …..the laugh of the dolorous.

It is right it should be so Man was made for Joy & Woe; And when this we rightly know Thro' the World we safely go. Joy & Woe are woven fine, A Clothing for the Soul divine; Under every grief & pine Runs a joy with silken twine...... Blake... Appearances are deceptive...beautiful poem...

The laugh of the dolorous heart is sensible as they have made your soul bleeding. Touching lines with hidden events!

it is a very emotional poem.... philosophical, emotional poem. sometimes we smile when want to cry... to show everybody everything is ok... but it is just one of our masks.... You poem is nice in its style of writing and perfect in its meaning. i like it, good job)))

It is a scintillating feeling to read these lines as it is feasting my eyes - but to be frank enough every line the poem is as good as these two. You poem is producing pictures on mind Wahabji, carry with your noble work! I am the owner of the sun and the moon Life is to me a mirage, an illusion
