The girl lay in bed that night

And Death stood at her bed's foot

The girl watched Death

Her eyes drooping with sleep

Rest now

Death's whisper echoes in her mind

The girl shakes her head

Her brown eyes opening a little

When I wake you'll be gone

The girl says softly

 

If Death could smile

That's what he would do right now

I am always watching, fear not, I will return in the night

The girls eyes close

The most peaceful she has seemed

Though she is still tormented in her dreams

With monsters and memories

 

Death returned to the realm of Spirits

He sat at the table

And looked at all the others

 

Life sat at the head

A form of a human

He was handsome

Kind and sweet 

But it was all to deceive the humans eye

 

Then there was Night

A Goddess, a Queen

She ruled the realm

Of Nightmares, and Dreams

She was beautiful

Honest

And could see into the very soul

 

There was Day

A woman of shining light

Golden light and smiles

She ruled the realm of Education and Play

She was Night's friend

And as beautiful as she

 

Anger sat

Her eyes dark, blacker than the Devil's soul

Pale face and finger, and flames for hair

She was the Anger of the world

She felt every Angry cry

She would soothe Anger

And agitate

 

Hate carressed Angers cheek

The two lovers wrapped in one anothers arms

He was a brooding Spirit

An emotion that takes root in the heart

A poison seeping deep into ones soul

He haunts manys dreams

And Life

He has an open air

As bright as Day

Charming and attractive

But like Life, deceiving

 

Love

A whore of the Spirit realm

She is beautiful, and addictive

She travels among the hearts of many

She is deceiving, but tempting

A temptress

Flowing honey hair

Ocean eyes

China skin

 

Lust

A common friend to all

Loves tiwn, appearing the same

Only her eyes are green

She controls the heart of man

Consuming their thoughts and body

She's a temptress

Who owns everyman

 

Joy

A peaceful Spirit

He has a pleasant face

But hard to keep him in your heart

Joy fades

Like a shadow in the Night

Hard to follow

Hard to gain

Easy to lose

 

Depression

As dark as Night

A shadowy girl

Her skin white

And her hair brown

She holds a strong front

But her eyes are black

And her face is cracked

 

Anxiety

A frightened Spirit

He is in love with Depression

They are lovers

His fear runs him

He's a good spirit

But his fear and paranoia 

Overrule him

Blue eyes

Green hair

Pale skin, and red cheeks

 

Time is the Guardian of all

Deciding when and who is to fall

She commands the Spirits

Where they can and can't go

Black hair

Glittering skin

Red lips

And a silky body

She seduces and tempts all

Time and Life are often lovers

But in the end, do part

 

Death observed them silently

Death was often this way

Watching and waiting

For a moment to speak

 

Death you've returned!

Why have you returned so late?

 Life asks merrily

His eyes sparkling with mischief and deceit

Death looks over him with distaste

I was observing

Death's whisper echoes in the hall

His raspy voice

Sends chills through all

 

Life watched Death

His eyes narrowing suspiciously

Everyone turned and stared at Death

Wondering what he could have been observing

Time snaps her fingers

And all eyes are on the enchantress of Time

 

Let us begin.
