The Dance

Pain rips through my broken body
Anguish inflicted with every labored breath
Soiled blood trickles down my back
as a fire bathes my soul
Echoing drums invade the nite
As I seek to leave this early realm
Shadows of time grow longer
as the drummer goes slower
Inhaling the scent of burnt flesh,
as eyesight is seared in tears
please I cry...
do not look at me
do not look for me
As a fog of dreams
lifts my heart
soaring beneath a demented soul
anguished echoes play mournful melodies
swaying in time with a shattered heart
Ballet of death surrounds the stars
as we move in our close embrace
drummers hush
as the flutes begins a poignant air
that draws the afterglow of ecstasy
windpipes flutter in tranquillity
as cheek to cheek...
mouth to mouth
breath to death
we waltz into stillness
As drums of torment
resonate this earthly realm
I incite you all
step into my riddled craze
