I wrote this awhile back and since I have seen a couple of poem's posted about death, decided to bring it out. She came again dressed in black Like so many times before Haunting my vision with her beaconing look Her eery whisper I faintly recall Although she had visited many times in my dreams This time slowly I draped myself in grave clothes I knew just what to do, for she was my guide Then I solemnly and anxiously awaited As I placed my heart on a shelf Thinking that safe keeping is the order I readied myself for the call As I put on my shoes I soon traveled on Towards the darkness I knew was inevitable Yes, I knew it would envelope me soon I went to say goodbye to part of my heart This death angel accompanying side by side I traveled far in my thoughts to get there She stood still as we set sail for the other side Cold as ice while shivering me to the bone Silence I could cut with a knife There was no escaping her presence It had taken hold and seized me still It awakened me with the reality of Numbered are my days Yes my number was up She smiled so sweetly and serene As she promised me peace and joy She took me by the hand and led me Luring me into her unknown world She held me tight to her bosom How can I struggle free While paralyzing my thoughts? Her deadly sting will poison all Yes, all in due time Then she soon intoxicated me to follow her path Death is her wish and she would not be denied The finality of her power is like no other No one ever wins her final fight Darkness looms when she shows up Only God holds the final light So within her presence I shake and tremble As I try to defy her every whim But I knew one day she would visit My life for all eternity to win Yes, to her it ultimately belongs So I will not get to struggle or debate Just live today as if it were The very last day Before Before, she whispers my name this final time Before, it is too late to live life another breath It's curtain time And she says The simple words, "It's time to meet your final fate".

I liked this piece. It had a certain fear factor to it while remaining melancholy and clear. Thanks for the great work! |

Lynne, I hope that death is as beautiful as that. Ethereal, ghostly, haunted ... Mikey |
