death

i flirt with death, it whispers to me longingly,

never embracing me fully,

it whispers in my ear, grazes my shoulders,

high on the closeness and lost in my sadness

death haunts me in all to beautiful and tempting way

its dark shadow dancing in a captivating sway,

death comes for me each night her cold hands so inviting,

she takes me away but never keeps me her lure too enticing,

i am lost in her eyes falling down a well of lonliness, heartsche. 

and when i reach the end im embraced in love and tenderness,

its quiet there, not all that scary, death is quite soft really,

she waits with you all the while, bringing you to gentle rest,

wraps her arms around you, and theres nothing left to protest,

its not so scary really, my skin bumps with impatience thrills,

waiting for death to take me, maybe keep me, if its her will,

maybe she enjoys the game as much as i, always tempting

so that when it is my time we shall both be just as longing..
