Self Decay

Stephanie Alford
The amazing labyrinth
Of endless blood vessels
Flow into
Bittersweet infinity
The manual somnolence
Is exploited
By a heavenly light
I descend
A spiraling staircase
Straight into melancholy
The perception I had
Is now asphyxiated
Into nothingness
This is just a prelude
To self-decay

I've returned from my little emotional sabbatical. Much better now.  View profile

    You have a flair for the melodramatic.
