Danse Macabre

The dance of the dead, Grateful or otherwise

"Danse Macabre"

 

There's something in the air tonight

That resonates of mystery -

Soaks through the fabric of the skin

And settles listlessly in the lungs,

Driving the mind to frenzied motion.

 

The stars twinkle like dancing faeries

Sighing their enchantments down

Upon an unsuspecting, sleeping world.

They tango in irridescent rhythms,

Waltzing 'twixt Venus and Mars.

 

We'll rejoice in laughter as we go,

With the moon watching o'er our heads,

On the pathways of the wild night.

The dancers hold us in their thrall

And offer such a fragrant embrace.
