My lady death

Lorenz

My lady death ,elegant ,dressed in pallor,

beautiful as a the shadow of a cloud 

on the black sun ...

Hand's cold caress  gliding 

over the velvet  of the destiny .

Book writen in letters of rain .

life ,whose lines are not yet drawn...

Yesterday , on the bridge of smiles ,

my sighs mingling with the breath

of a submissive dove ...

 Pretty colombina in this mirror 

so desirable ...

My lady death ,my drunkeness,

 dark bird's  flight 

in the orchard of delight ,

to my last party ,tonight

you will be invited  to this burial suite,

Amidst the ruins of my stripped palace 

and  devastated  kingdom ..

  I'll make you bloom .

We'll drink to these rivers of bitter laughter,

tender illusions in blue satin shoes ...

 Take my arm ,grande dame ! 

Read me the chapter 

of god and devil together !

Beyond the great purifying pire ,

walking on my path of light 

in the  black angel's gospel ...

 My lady death .

        • Ellen Marsell

          A poetic requiem, written with love, grace, and dignity. It is not about fear, but about acceptance. A magnificent work!
