DEATH

DEATH BECKONS ME, SHALL I LET HER IN?
SHE COMES FROM THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT,
HER RED EYES GLEAMING SO BRIGHT...
I STARE AT HER SHE STARES BACK;
SHE GETS CLOSE TO ME & WHISPERS
IN MY EAR:" COME TO ME & I WILL SET
YOU FREE".....
I STAND THERE MESMERIZED BY HER SOOTHING VOICE,
THINKING I HAVE NO CHOICE...
SHE TAKES MY HAND, SHE KISSES ME, HER KISS IS
SO COLD....
I SEE HER IN THE SUDDEN BRIGHT MOONLIGHT.
SHE IS SO WHITE, IT'S REALLY A FRIGHTENING SIGHT...
SHE SMILES, HER SMILE IS SO CRUEL,
WE STAND FACING EACH OTHER AS IF WE MIGHT
FIGHT IN A DUEL...
I CLOSE MY EYES & LET HER GUIDE ME...
SHE GRABS MY HAND, TIGHTER & TIGHTER;
SHE LEADS ME DEEPER INTO THE UNKNOWN,
I BEGIN TO CRY; TEARS OF ANGUISH, TEARS OF SORROW,
TEARS OF PAIN...
IT'S TOO LATE, I CAN'T ESCAPE, I PULL AWAY;
HER GRIP IS LIKE A VISE...
NOW I KNOW THERE'S NOTHING TO DO...
I STAND AT THE BEGINNING OF MY OWN & INEVITABLE DEMISE.

The imagery you convey though your words like antagonist Death within your piece, takes hold of the reader and leads them with your protagonist on every step of the journey of self actualization and discovery. Top Notch Job and A1 Work!
