Beautiful Stranger
I saw a beautiful stranger.
She held my gaze.
I walked right by her.
Our separate ways.
I saw the woman's face
She was there again.
She stood there looking.
In my direction.
I saw her standing
Across the road.
A pale skin complexion
With a stare so cold.
She appeared before me.
At the bottom of my stairs.
Motionless, fearless
I just wasn't scared.
She had me mesmerised
With a look so appealing
Deep into my eyes.
I don't know her name.
I don't know her age
How her her life ended
Or where she lies.
She was in my bedroom.
Standing by my bed.
Looking down at me.
I tried to turn my head
She moved away
I wanted her to stay
She beckoned me to follow
I felt compelled to go her way
I opened the door.
Her face was there.
Dead eyes I saw.
But with a friendly stare.
I just had to follow.
Her into the night.
I did although i knew it just wasn't right.
As I got closer she turned to me.
I felt the end of life, I felt the end of me.
Now I'm nowhere, I drift alone.
I stand and I stare at someone, anyone.
It takes some time but when they feel my presence I have them snared.
Their mind alert, their thoughts impaired
They look for me everywhere they go
When I feel playful I let them know
You see, now it's my turn to let go of me
To leave this rhyme and this earth
and to be set free.
