Literature Text

the serenade of the schizophrenic,
the melancholic melody of hate.
a cacophony fit for the chronic
illness that devours all who dare wait.

the dance of the diseased acquires moves
so elegant and gracious, like a sway,
enough to dissuade the watching, a ruse
to entice the room to embody gay.

alas, she stumbles over graceful feet
and tumbles to the unforgiving floor,
for the poison has spread from tongue to teat;
never will she waltz with her love once more.

Oh, princess, remember that death's sweet kiss
brings more than the end to a life of bliss.
This is geared towards something I'm considering posting on here. Lately I've had dreams of these two characters (developing them as time goes) and while I don't necessarily like writing prose, because I suck at it, I'm gonna try to give it a hand. Either that or tell their story through a series of poems like I've been doing. Anyway...:B

constructive criticism is welcome, as always :thumbsup:
