Passing

In the darkness his mind crept
For an eternity he had not slept
Hollow faces with hollow eyes
Come to take you on a final ride

Run with me now through fields of broken glass
Don't stand still for to long
The grim reaper unveils his mask

Worms encapsulate eyes which could once see
The shadow lurking but your lacking feet to flee
Twisted images fill the blood stained sky above
Then you catch a faded glimpse of a pure white dove

The sky goes blank like a strangers stare
Images of your past play through the air
Fast at first your heart going to explode
Slowing down now it's time to go

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 discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@: akiraa_artly
