Caressed my brow with icy fingers
Kissed me with her lips so cold
While we embraced a vision lingers
Aged beyond her bodys form
Beneath her beauty, pain and sorrow
Was the pain from loneliness?
Or knowing what will be tomorrow
I looked to her and locked my stare
To see behind her eyes so grey
But she would not let me inside
And show me where her secrets lay
How could such beauty take so much
How could such beauty be so wise
I know now beauty can be so cold
When sadness lives behind her eyes
I embraced death while I was sleeping
Lost myself within her being
She didnt tell me where I was
Couldnt tell me what I was seeing
She leaned in close, whispered to me
Wake up now, its not your time
I woke this morning chilled to the bone
With a dream fading in my mind........ [comments] => 4 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 13 [informant] => jt [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

To Touch Deaths Beauty

Topic: DarkPoetry

Death visited me in the night
Caressed my brow with icy fingers
Kissed me with her lips so cold
While we embraced a vision lingers
Aged beyond her bodys form
Beneath her beauty, pain and sorrow
Was the pain from loneliness?
Or knowing what will be tomorrow
I looked to her and locked my stare
To see behind her eyes so grey
But she would not let me inside
And show me where her secrets lay
How could such beauty take so much
How could such beauty be so wise
I know now beauty can be so cold
When sadness lives behind her eyes
I embraced death while I was sleeping
Lost myself within her being
She didnt tell me where I was
Couldnt tell me what I was seeing
She leaned in close, whispered to me
Wake up now, its not your time
I woke this morning chilled to the bone
With a dream fading in my mind........
