melancholia

She lies in languid lament,
Devoid of natural light.
Supine on happy lemon that by turns
Oppresses and offends the senses.
It fails to illuminate that
Dark recess where lethargy
Percolates, dripping in cavernous corners,
Forming stalagmites on her soul.
Aphrodite, subsumed and
Cloaked in male attire,
Seeks solace in a
Melancholic reverie;
Demanding obeisance beyond the
World of muted textures.
