Immortality

I dance to forget mortality
Sooner than it brings your life
It wrings it tight

Who will sing for me
When I am dead?
Who will close my eyes
And kiss my forehead?
So turn me to dust, promise me this!
I won't have my body
Stuck back in time
With maggots to kiss
Hissing with slime

Unhand me death, I'm living!
I'm tired of your doom that looms
Over all that I'm giving
And all that I do
You find me unfitting
What's fitting for you!?

Unhand me life I'm dying!
You tease me with flowers
And taunt me with flying
With passion and power
With women and crying
See! I can even love pain
& I'd suffer much more
Just to see you again

In my arms I kiss you, trembling
In the wait to be consumed
Embracing face to face
Hiding from departure and ruin

But wait-
A flash
In your eyes,
-Sudden grace;
The a vision of a place
Gravity can't trace;

Without a mind to cut us in sections
Without any work to resume
Revolving forever in pluperfection
Heart around Heaven like a moon.
