A macabre courtship

Virtue circles her
well-trod grounds
invisibly
leaving clues,
this residue
Death sniffs out
before donning
his rainbow mask
to bid her
adieu

all your poems very aptly carry the baton of the theme of your blog(the line below the title)....

dark and excellent...

@Maha Thanks... those are the best kinds of fogs, aren't they? :)

@Manik My goal is to be disturbed without disturbing... I'm glad you enjoy the results.
