Death

It wraps its cool hands around me
As a lover should, it seduces me

It brushes against my neck,
In its infinite caress

It requests I answer its call
When we are face to face, it taunts

It beckons me near, it offers me a life with no fear

It is gentle, probing, inquisitive
Yet asks no questions

It is understanding, compassionate
Yet offers no joy

It is finite.
