My Dance With Death

All I wanted was a taste of death.
The brush of his lips, the cold caress.
Just one dance, one song to see,
If my feet could move to the rhythm of his beat.
So I enticed, and he followed me.
Bringing his darkness into the light that I bleed,
Surrounding and all encompassing.
 "What a lovely gift to bring" he said to me"
 you have no fear, your light cannot be extinguished. "
Then he let me go, and I was free,
To move through space, time, and dimensions,
Back to my reality, changed for eternity.
