Poem: Despair's Waltz

Despair's Waltz

This sickening waltz
resides in my skin
a twist of dreams and shadow

Dance 
upon the fog

I am the shadow
Haunted in dreams
This moving melody 
filled with anguish

Dance
upon the echoes

A maddening symphony
Consumed with illusions
This orchestration consumes
these fractured dreams

Dance
upon the souls

Sleep embraces
this surreal masquerade
a wretched hallucination
of feverish delusion

Dance
upon the night

A vortex of madness
Encompassing light
Revealing secrets
The end of whispers

Dance
upon the curse

Dance
the waltz of despair
