Flirting with Death

He looked menacingly sexy, appealing. His stare was taunting, defying me to approach it. I took the challenge, he was magnetic.

We introduced ourselves, he was evasive, mysterious, distracted.

I was perturbed, disturbed and intrigued by this strange character who called himself Death.

You mean, death?, I asked.

He ignored me.

What are you, I stummered.

He shrugged.

I was impatient

Are you going to tell me, or not?

No response

His demeanour was handsome, I was in his coil

Helplessly, hopelessly

But did he know?

I prodded some more,

So…what do you do when you’re outside the bar?, I ventured

I take lives, I told you already, inside and outside.

Are you ready?, he wanted to know.

I wasn’t moved.

I began to flirt voluptuously with this character.

Wow, you really are quite an attractive guy, you must have a lot of pretendientes

He smiled, bewitchingly, distant.

I was becoming more impatient but also resigned

Well it seems you’re not the talkative type

Look, I got the wrong impression, I thought you were flirting with me

I could see he was responding to my tactic

He was astutely cunning

I knew it.

Well, good luck then, good bye

It´s me who should be wishing you this

You should be saying your goodbyes

I was angry.

Look, I said, I think you are creepy and silly, I’ve had enough tonight.

Good bye.

He swept me off my feet.

Flirting with Death, Part II

If i were to tell you te quiero

It´s possible I might scare you

If I were to tell you te amo

Je t´aime, I love you

It´s possible you feel the same

Te siento

I feel you

I want you a mi lado

At the same time, your distance

Makes you more present a mi lado

Your words,

each character,

Each letter

brings an explosive emotion

each time, every time.

Without fail.

What is this love that’s making me so uneasy?

Making me so restless for your body

Is it madness?

Some say its hypersensitivity

I wake up on mornings with a smile on my lips

Thinking you are by my side

I pass my legs, oh so cold

up your body, oh so slowly.

You shiver with this madness

Of pleasure

you roll over

What´s this folie,

That´s invading me

Your humour pervading me

You feel me when i´m sad

I feel you when your´e mad.

We long to be together

We be long together

Being apart.
