Conversation between Death and his human lover

(W)- Glorious day I will not see
for the Death proposal I incline
Kiss his hand, he my ring
my so patient groom
deserves to have the world
May I bow to my king of the shadows?

(D)- and kiss my neglected princess...?

(W)- Beyond pain, he is for us as we are for him
chained together since birth to his fingers
all alone like a drop in the ocean
no one knows all the time he waited for me
and again, I hear his steps in my moonlit room
and his breath on my neck without touching me
but the cold that surrounds him, reveal him
and in silence and love, he smiles at me:

(D)- Every day, for my child
I would stop time just to come
and see you sleeping
light your dreams with my power, desire
burning me as a mortal in fire
still I dare not to touch that strange face
face that bound me to life, like never before
pit dark eyes like a well, they tell so much
Oh I know all your pain, I’ve been there with you
crystal tears falling from forgotten places
You are precious to me, my sweet angel
but to take you from life would be a sin
I can’t steal your breath or your heartbeat
I’m in love with your struggle to survive each day
We are doomed to be forbidden lovers
from the distance I’ll see, from theirs eyes I’ll hide
and you’ll know that is me in my cold touch
our secret keep low under your dress
act as nothing is there, like you can’t feel me
I’ll love you like waves in the ocean
no one never to notice that I’m loving you
In daylight, open places we will be one
there, where no one expect me to ever be
For your love, death will die for a moment
and stop the time to become just a man for you
Here my promise with blood will be sealed
Dont forget what I said. I will be with you.


(W)-Oh, my love what a tragedy my life
that for once I’m in love and he loves me back
but forbidden and secret it turns to be
my sweet prince with your words you have won my heart
with your love, all I want, you have caged my soul
be this love a well known romanticide
my life wont take away, my dark lover
I’ll be eternal as him, in the other side
duality, irony never hurted so much
I’ll be here and be there every time for you
and my longer wont cease for the daylight
I’ll fake I don’t feel when you take me there
our secret I’ll hide under my dress
be with you like the sand waiting for the wave​

 

(D)=Death
(W)= Woman

 

Thank you for sharing it.
I’m moving your poem to: La Torre de Babel, because in this Foro (Gótico) we only publish poems in Spanish. So next time please use La Torre de Babel for your English poems.
Thank you
