Breathless love

She was like a dune of quick sand,
but due to torrential rains and floods, 
she was covered with 
moss and colorful algae
making her look peaceful
with extended arms,
welcoming travelers to step
on her.
But underneath, just like the death trap of
the quick sand, she hid a massive
one way journey to the graveyard
where hundreds of corpses are
still taking their deep breaths
in memory of their love.

Love and death in her
lived one in the other,
either as a breathless corpse, or
as a last breath,
still trying to escape!
