Dance of the Damned

Dance of the Damned

A Poem by Lost in Wonderland

There's a perpetual chill in the air
Where the voices whisper ever soft
Like a wind whisked through your hair
Like the tired lessons mothers taught
How proper girls were docile and fair
Rather everything I was not

I can hear them call to me
Singing songs of strange places
Brushing me with hands like a breeze
Begging me to see their faces

It's a ghastly ball of black and white
Fine corpses dance with painted masks
Only in the darkest, coldest nights
Coaxing me to fall into his lifeless grasp

The reaper coos softly in my ear
His voice composed of sweet, hypnotic rhythms
Urging me to stay with him here
In this world so beautifully dark and grim 

His cool hand linger at my waist
Keeping me in this cryptic palace
Perhaps it would be easier to give in and stay
In this damned dance forever lost

Thank you dear!!
God bless
Very very nice. This poem presented fear of damnation at the same time a sense of comfort in it... Truly a dance of the damned. May souls have the courage to escape such dance, or rather be willing to continue it. Wonderful piece.
