Deaths cold embrace

Icy breath

Numb fingertips

Chest tightening

Like a lovers final embrace

Fading words

Ringing in your ears

 

A ghostly shadow

Lingers forth

A look of grimace and malice

Coming into focus

A skeletal figure

Covered only by black silk robes

 

Lifes nemesis

And a dying mans wish

 

Heartbeat slows

As his shadow shortens

You feel his presence

 

Satans right hand man beckons you

Falling to your knees 

Begging for time

As you feel his breath on your face

 

His now outstretched hands near

Gripping and releasing the air

 

His icy fingers grip

Your shoulders

So smooth

 

This is the final embrace

And it is His

Well done! Succinct which is always a challenge - just the right amount of words to express the darkness that seems to be ensuing here. Thanks for sharing.
Light,

The imagery in this poem is amazing. The words also go with the writing as well as the message you are trying to get across. Hauntingly scary :)
