CHESS WIH DEATH

Once a night, I faced the death,
as I was sitting by the edge of my pride
There from the darkness he took a sit with me,
with starved grin he took place at the other side,

It seems checkmate my little beauty of the dark,
now you must follow me and die
I felt his cold breath trying to embrace me,
when lift my face and stared right into his eye

Be fair to me,and I will be,
when you hail and adore
the ground under my feet in the infernal

I have never seen death smile so honestly
but he begun to place the bricks upon the board
to play the chess as eve sang its nocturnal

As a spiteful joke
he asks me for the rules
so beyond all rhymes I told
he was only allowed the moves
upon the light parts of the lace
or he must leave life ,without me
I to take path over the darken place
or follow him down willingly

Accepted and settled
he confirm with a noble smile
confidence personified
beautiful it could deprive
thin hue of shadow rested upon his face
as he said -My lily you are still alive

I let a heavy breath pass by
as I watched the sunset
muffled tunes wove blood upon the sky


Dance with me o death
I know you cannot refuse
I sense thee desire in the distant
beyond the surface so ferocious


The dusk's breath still but fragile
wind and longings from era's veil
played mourning violins
as moon looked down so pale

Dance close to me, a final time
to feel the beating from a hart
before you kiss your bride
til death I do your part

Predict the chess fairly
you know the plates to dance upon them
I know you play with life too merrily

but with me in your arm's spells
while kiss me cold
and there will be no more farewells



Lend your hand and let me led you in your last ballet
He steps out on the board, flooring of solid darkness

I hold him in my arms close to his decay
and I kissed a breath upon his lips for a good part of chess
