Immortality

by Amy J. Kline (Insomnia) - Virgo

Immortality

With her alto/soprano voice,
she sang
from her soul.

Swinging her hips
and flipping her bouncy curls
she won over
every audience.

With her beautiful smile
she charmed 
the pants off
her share of men.

One night
she sat
at the grand piano
in her home,
singing four octaves
in scales.

And from thin air
a dark friend
appeared
by her side.

He snapped 
his fingers twice,
and wine glasses
appeared...
filled to the rims
with blood.

The two friends--
of a centuries-old bond--
toasted Immortality
and drank with a hunger
greater than Death.
