Bride

A day in black and white,

This day of happiness and fright.

Predatory moves, graceful and lethal,

Always physically loyal; mentally deceitful.

Mistress of pain, burying the night’s secrets,

Ceremony of a truce, these vows, I shall keep it.

Feelings of weakness dissipating, wild fury remains,

A vengeful love, whirling viciously in my veins.

Air shivers, the joining of matrimony begins,

No curiosity, as my new lover reins me in.

Black Satin tendrils of darkness raise my veil,

Wrapping lovingly around my waist, neck and hair.

Passionate kisses with a mouth full of fire,

All frightened nerve endings transform to live wires.

Graciously allowing my new spouse to have its way,

Eyes closing, a smiling forming, grateful for my last day.

Living mistress of the light, weakness departs,

A new embrace, no more beats to my heart.

A whole moon illuminates a path to my side,

I am honored to be its bride.

             Death.
