The Reaper's Tango

 

Pick me a rainbow from the sky

and prove to me it doesn't end at a pot of gold

Scrape the plaque from my poisoned heart

filled with the fattest lies

Fairytales do not come true

and only a fool believes in them

I was once a blinded fool

but the veil has beened burned from my heart's eyes

I am tired of swimming in shark filled seas

tired of seeking shelter from the storms

No dreams of sunkissed days

no meadows covered in dancing wild flowers

The only dance I want to know

is the dance of the Reaper's Tango

Find me a black rose

pierce my lips with it's thorns

Dance me to death where I belong

let one dream of mine come true

    Fantastic take on the prompt
    The image you chose Rock..love the dark imagery that pours from the page..the metaphoric reference between the "black rose" and death [Reaper] is brilliant..your quill is smokin'..Congratulations on the Silver
