[Albrecht Dürer, Melencolia from google]

 Meloncholy Misery: Or The Scream In My Dream.

Dark place;

The stumble through dreamscape, 

Falling falling dropping, into

Nightmare;

Scenes borrowed from screen dramas

Backdrop a canvas of muddy fright figures;

Suddenly, omnious weapon of death threatens;

Is this then the end, the way to go?


Steeped in despair, 

Surrender should quieten this black soul of depression;

Only, the surpise of flight and a scream ensues,

The transport to reality hones questions such as:

Isn't this want you wanted when you decked yourself for a pity party?

How now then;

The unwillingness to accept the Fates' gift to nothingness;

Ah but:

Absolve, is a gift of guarding angels

    If it could be so, I would gladly offer myself... but alas I think we all have to fix this darknes humanity has caused.

    I like the alliterative and rhyming titles, Gillena, and the ‘stumble through dreamscape’, which resonates with me as I have vivid dreams that are very discombobulating, with plenty of falling - and I could do with a ‘gift of guarding angels’.

    The beginning reminds me of watching a scary movie and then having nightmares. Could be said about the world we are living in.
