Oh my beloved skeleton boy You filled my heart with so much joy Your hands so nimble in their sockets Your heartless chest- set off my rockets My pulse did race with each new scare like when you looked down at me …from the stair a ghostly aberration seen wafting behind your cool death screen But my skeleton boy… at this pace we will only find happiness... in graves embrace! Please lift the shroud that covers your face let me know more of your ethereal grace No flesh of skin nor plush armed capture is needed to enlist my rapture I was yours and yours alone from that first night you toppled …from your throne You sauntered over to my dimensional space and asked me grinningly ...to dance in place you offered up a ghostly ride how was I to know ...t'was a tsunami tide that would quickly ..............take me out to sea and rock me forever .....like a tumbleweed
