Take Me
Heavy footsteps thud across the floor
The rapping of a cane demands attention
Cloaked in black from head to foot
His pointed boot heels caked in mud
A dusty black hat shadows his bearded face
Metallic dampness envelopes me
I shudder though the fire roars bright
Death stands rigid his shadow looms
Gold rimmed teeth glint a smile
He likes to charm the ladies
The fire flickers a manic dance
I feel so cold my bones feel raw
A voice smooth as velvet says good evening
I say you weren’t invited please leave
With a menacing laugh he replies oh but I am
He pours me red wine it glistens like rubies
The glass is so close I must I can’t resist
A wave of soothing liquid envelopes me
Warmth floods my ageing useless limbs
I’m floating adrift on a silver sea
How do I get back it’s taking me
But I feel nothing for once there is no pain
Forget this he says you’re now with me
He hands me the glass and nods his head
The white light sparkles so bright
I’m now free
I like “I’m now free”!! It’s a magic sensation!!
bye mylady 🙂
