Pour ma chère Lilla-bis. :)

A little poem I finished on a whim...I wrote half of it about...six months ago and the other half about to days ago! XD I hope you enjoy...

I'm courting death

and death's sitting still,

Ignoring every nod,

Scoffing every wink,

Every grandiloquent bow with a cherry kiss on top.

I think he likes me.

I'll leave a box

at death's gloomy door

Wrapped with vanilla ribbon,

Trimmed with licorice lace,

Containing thirteen tiny drops of chocolate sunshine.

He'll eat them in the dark.

I'll cut a string

of one thousand hearts

To tie him to his bed,

To keep his clenched hands still

long enough to get a taste of coveted botan rice candy.

Wrapper and all.

It could be a disaster.

It could be a mistake.

It could get me killed.

But my heart's still beating.

I've courted death

and death's sitting still

Ignoring every nod,

Scoffing every wink,

Every grandiloquent bow with a cherry kiss on top,

And nothing could be sweeter.
