I dance with the immortal in
a sort of eldritch paradise,
stirring up feelings in my bones
like a late Summer seduction
that lasts long past midnight
I dredge up dreams of long ago
My heart screams heavy metal melodies
as if the phantoms of my past
were lovers I don’t recall
Our flesh entwined, our very breath
born of the blackest verse,
the most scintillating poems
only those who have died and come back
could compose
