A Soft Kiss Of Death Poem by Michelle Hyde

A haunted darkness,
Seductive shadows surround me,
Hidden voices whisper,
Songs of silent slumber.

I feel a sharp pain,
Then I grow weak,
The world around me fades,
My heart slowly beating.

The shadows begin to swirl,
As an Icy liquid caresses my lips,
My mouth is soon on fire,
I feel my life anew.

My mind races,
Time knows no bounds,
Memories rush my mental shores,
My body burns as fire rushes through it.
