Verse checking

Hello,

In the context of a poem about a ghost or vampire, I would like to know if the following verse sounds coherent :

"His visage preyed on my decline"

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

It probably makes more sense in context, but it's fine as some kind of metaphoric allusion. Presumably you're working with iambic tetrameter, so that part is OK. CJ
