Driven to despair

I took a dip

In the lake of

Serenity

That poisons me

As poise gave way

To gracelessness

Ennui became

Infinity

“Remember me”

A wretch beseeched

With eyes from which

All light had leached

Like stars plucked from

Tranquility

And plunged beneath

The sea, where life

Is snuffed out by

Antipathy
