Dance of the Damned

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

Wow, It had a dark elegance of giving in to the temptation of sin. Not many can control the purity of their soul. Good write.

I can see evil whispers in your ears, or rather death. I can never be too sure. Nice poem though.
