melancholia murderously meandering
her wings unfurled in ghastly strokes
whence called upon, my arm she perches
while within my breast, my heart it lurches
yet sacred, unlike hypocrites in churches
my melancholia, mesmerizing as she hunts
sleek ebon-winged avian goddess
delightful insightlful frightful charming
never is she more alarming
clutching with her talons, gripped
for mercy she came unequipped
dining upon prey's blood long dripped
melancholia, my pet of feathered splendour
curved beak thrust forward for the kill
preening as she grooms my tresses
her jeweled eyes see how death it blesses
yet most cry No! and fewer Yesses...
melancholia, oh victorious vandal
legendary in her reign
never strays far from my side
an egg i've hatched, we've shared one hide
never for long is she denied...
