Death will come some time too cold,
Slaying me some winter night,
I’ll slip between dark and light,
Death will not harvest my soul,

Dark and Light,
I pace the space of between,
Just a soul,
Always cold,
I see not be, stay unseen,
Dark and Light.

I watch the ones still living,
Roaming unnoticed and free,
Witnessing things I can’t be,
From this place unrelenting

Living Still

Life will rise and play a part,
Reigning warmth upon my cold,
Into the arms, I'll slip to hold
Softness resting 'gainst my heart.

Warm to hold,
My goal to reach the in-between.
Free of heart,
Filled in part,
Disguised the feel, mine, sateen
Warm to hold.

I draw you to me, death,
Staving you off, with a sigh.
Each move, a step, 'nother bye
Life, "living still", with each breath.

Cool poem. I like your second line:

Slaying me some winter night,

That's a good one. Good imagery that compliments the theme.

Love the poem, and Wynter's counter response.
Of yours, Prof. Gloom, I saw the freedom of death, how it can be the final cut to all restraining strings. I like that image, when I think of death, and yours painted that image clear.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..

Thank you, Dragonpoe
I am glad you liked my words,
Death is a frequent topic of mine
And I can hope that it will be freeing.
