Black and White Kisses
I walk into the house
And see nothing
But black and white
I turn in circles
Getting lost
In my own mind
Every room
Black and white
I walk into a bedroom
And see a black bed
With white pillows
All the furniture
Is black
The walls are white
I start to settle
Into this room
Comprehending
Everything here
Until I feel a presence
Standing right behind me
I turn around
Oh so slowly
And see a man
Black hair
Almost white skin
White T-Shirt
Black pants
Black shoes
He looked like a god
Coming to save me
From this place
But something is wrong
With this god-like-creature
His smile
His nose
Especially his eyes
For they are pure black
I step closer
He steps back
Surprised
At what I am doing
I take another step
He does the same
For we are face to face
Standing in front of each other
Smiling like little children
His hands move to his face
Touching his lips
With two fingers
And brings them
Down to mine
I think to myself
I just had a white kiss
But this man is not done
He leans
Closer to me
He looks like he is in pain
I try to say something
But nothing comes out
I just keep my lips
Closed shut
He is so close
I stop breathing
He brings his hands up
And cuddle my face
He leans in
And gives me a kiss
A kiss that seems deadly
I do not mind
I just think to myself
Thinking that I have just been
Kissed with black kisses
I can finally speak
And ask him his name
He leans in
And whispers in my ear
My name is Death
And I am here
To take your life
