'Til Death May We part

curl a rose around your finger,

like a wedding band, make sure it's fresh.

feel the thorns leave their marks,

claiming you for theirs.

 

Tie a snake around your neck,

and hope it doesn't bite,

wind a tie to match your tux,

for you must look your best.

 

Slick your hair with black widow's spit,

make it gleam like hades' fire,

for you must impress her father,

and we all know that's not a simple task.

 

Find your woman in the hall,

take her hand so gently,

my, you do look dashing together,

though your figures are so ghastly.

 

Dance your final dance, my dear,

lead her on the floor,

for you and the womanly figure

of death's own daughter,

will now be wed forever.

Death is a very scary subject when talked about. For people change their minds when it maybe brought up for discussion. But the word constricted, or bound in other words by a society; one that says "Wind a tie to match your tux, for you must look your best," hence why they say you must wear this to a wedding. We are a populous of diverse intellectual's that can think for themselves. Another word would be commitment, or a "combined contract" one might say between one's self and their lover. Great Work.

Words= A spark in one's mind that will someday make them think of idea's beyond this world, so that they may connect with another's causing the start the intellectual revolution. Which would than cause passion of all things to come back into the world.

Dance with the daughter of Death. Could be a interesting situation. Death is one of the best characters to write about. So many myths and story about him. I like the ending to the outstanding poem. Thank you.
