Death

Can the angel of death fall in love????

Her beauty haunts my immortal soul

It has seeped into my skull

Her luscious brown hair and

Soft, beautiful hazel eyes.

Her milk skin seems so delicate,

It would be an abomination if my

Cold, dead hand were to

Lay upon it.

How elegant she seems in

My empty sockets; and so fragile

Oh so fragile!

Heaven fails in comparison

to this beautiful creature.

When I first saw her, she

Was weeping at the foot

Of her father's death bed.

It almost pained me to take

Him from her life.

To know that I was the 

Cause of her pain

Sent a knife into my

Already dead heart. 

I have seen so many

Beautiful girls in my

Eternal Afterlife

Why does she haunt me?

Why is she my grim reaper?

Oh well, I will try to figure

It all out when I come for her

In one year.

I was bored and had the itch to write something and this came to mind. Enjoy!!

Liked this peice. Especially the last line. Made me think that death will set something up in a year or so to take his mortal love, And leave all her family and friends wondering why she ever went that way home. Can death fall in love? maybe in the same way that angels lose thier wings if they fall for a mortal. I think death will take everyone eventually but i think he has the power to prolong the taking as he wrestles with his feelings. great concept and very good write. well done

This poem is so ggod you really have a talent for this. It seems like your writings come from what you feel instead of from your mind liek most writers. You do what I do. I write about things liek my life and other stuff. You are a deep writer and you seem to have such a passion for it.

[Audrey Owens]

WOW!!! I absolutly loved this! There is the forbidden love of death and life in their eternal dance around each other here personified. Inspiring!!!

[Cat O'nine]

i like the woe and the sorrow of this piece, the sort of self-pity that makes the view of the grim reaper pretty unique, and adds a flare to the sentiment of the work as a whole.

[Fantasyfairy]

OK, thought I would read your work to see what type of writing you use. I like this, it is so dark, and yet so beautiful as well. Yes, I believe an Angel can fall in love. XX

[Joseph - Michael]

That was really nice. It reminded me so much of that old flick; "City Of Angels" in some ways

On the other hand, it's all good here...

[Sorrow The Dark]

Troubling consideration, yet almost sympathetic.

You have presented a new rendition of an old theme. Quite well, by the way.

Disturbing glance at what we would rather ignore...until it's too late sometimes.
