Melancholy, of a cosmic poet

by Ale, Mike H
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780796139986

Step into the mind of a poet who contemplates the world and its mysteries with equal parts wonder and terror.

A debut collection of dark and introspective poetry, perfect for those who revel in the beauty and horror of existence.


An introspective, nihilistic and at times pessimistic look at the world through poetry.

This is in no way an exploration of joy and mirth, but instead a book of pessimistic thought and cautionary tale.

Be warned, for the horrors of truth in this book, are not for the faint of heart. Worry not, however, for between the horrific misery,

there will be explorations of love, intrigue and tales of wonder.

And perhaps a few moments of romantic reprieve, from the terror of existence.


"For, what is life, but a series of plays, run by a madman, and loved by a jester?

But, oh! Hopeless ones!

Heed my words! Don't forget that always,

And forevermore, will you, peace,

in a lover's embrace find!"
