Death

In the dark where shadows hide
fear is nothing but deaths bride.
A grim fate awaits us in the end
there is no way for fate to bend.

I feel the slowly creeping crack
of deaths hand upon my back.
Although I struggle to be free
I know it's touch is not for me.

It stands at my back as it leers
past myself and to my peers.
I try to warn them, they must run
it's far to late, the deeds been done.

Death is the end there is no more
there isn't sand on heavens shore.
Only blackness awaits us there
In that blackness is deaths icy stare.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
