I am all of death

I creep behind
the shadows of life
and find sadness
seeping through minds

I have seen
flecks of pain
bloody kissed lips
and hastened death

the din of the Devil
the clamour for Heaven
with the breath of death
on melting snow.

for I am all of death
and every life
shall know me
and curse my kind

There's something here I'm not getting... but that's OK. It's probably not for me. Still it reeks of mystique and I appreciate it for that too.

This is a great write about being death and having to carry out your job though I'm not sure If I'll curse death since I see it as a friend taking us when our earth life is finished

As being a Soldier, knowing death and iconic yet at times beautiful with a hint of romance. Very nicely written.

the clamour for Heaven

Terrific write Anne on so many different levels....
It flowed perfectly...almost gleefully
"take that death"
Your style and the varied rhyme schemes (not forced at all...in fact, maybe even unintentional), made this write a joy to read and reread..
Like a foreign film....this definitely deserves a 2nd and 3rd look, for we're sure to miss some of the nuances and subtleties that this poem offers.
Oh...BTW wonderful imagery (4th read)
Great write, Anne

I've taking a liking to your rhyme scheme, as well as the concept. Lovely poem.

[Anne Timmins]

Thank you. Confused by your reference to my "rhyme scheme" as I rarely use rhymes.

[Tai Ryens]

Hm, must come naturally for you.

[Leslie Philibert]

Lots to enjoy here, especially the alliteration of the din of the Devil, and the
internal rhymes like breath of death, good one.
