Derelict melancholy

Travelling through the alleys of human mind

Melancholy, descends upon his unsuspecting prey

Sows the seeds of discontent

While his prey sees ghosts more than

Vast hell can endure…

The predator fawns lady grief

Succumbing to his impish charms

Grief, decides to move in

 

They settle on the tottering mind

Now a prolific ground for severe maelstrom

Suicide – the hate child of this unholy union

Toys with fragile emotions

Swims in the salty sea of sorrows

Lurking in the dusted corners

While dreaming… 

Nightmares

 

Ardor turns to apathy…

Aspiration to aimlessness…

Adoration to abhorrence…

The moribund prey searches

For the meaning of his wretched existence

In death

 

Evicted from the empty vessel,

Melancholy, again embarks upon his nomadic journey

Searching for another morbid mind

Perhaps he’ll get to stay a bit longer…

This time around.
