50 Shades of Silence

2/24/15

i.
I've danced with Death
in a fiery tango,
and left ashes
in my wake.

ii.
The Reaper is coming,
cloaked in
50 Shades of Silence
and 20 shades of gray
as bony fingers
stop my screams.

iii.
Black laughter will echo
in empty spaces inside my soul
as my dreams fade to
almost nothing --
a residual scar
left in forgotten memories.
