melancholia

 
my soul keens melancholia
deep inside my forest of need
I come forth from the shadows
just to retreat to my asylum
sanctuary for the disenchanted

my heart weeps orchids
they inhabit my desert
alone in the darkness
tears water my garden

I cry inside my human tomb
no one sees my level of misery
I've withdrawn from humanity
my inner demons have my rapt attention
I seek answers only to find more mysteries

my soul ascends the heavens
reaching higher and higher in my search
space is vast and infinite in nature
a voice guides me on my journey

I approach the gates of the onyx kingdom
entering into an understanding
answers are given that my mortal mind can't fathom

somewhere lies the truth of me
I will seek though I fear the answers
