The dying rays of the setting sun
Mark the dawn of the night
Those now dead rise for fun
Ready to revel ‘til first light

Gathering together ‘round the fire
Undead drums begin to play
Endless reverie without tire
Rejoicing in life past death’s day

Whirling, waltzing and stepping with joy
They dance to their still heart’s content
Lifeless smiles and dead looks as coy
Skeletons delight in merriment

Rotting voices chant in song
Frantic drumming keeps the beat
Enjoying what’s theirs for not so long
Showing Death’s momentary defeat

But their fire’s slowly dying
The black sky hints at day
For now, their fun is over
Time to go back to the grave

Carousing away every night
Lit darkly in the firelight
No living eyes to see the sight
Of lively corpses dancing

Nice poetry
