Death Comes

Death Comes

Was it you I saw

Evening last?

Are you a person

From the past?

And how was death

Our final friend?

Did he treat you well in the end?

Was it cold and dark 

One final day

Into a world of dismay?

Did he take you gently 

Into the night 

Or was it a bitter

And angry flight?

Where are you from?

Why do you come?

Does life make your

Senses numb?

Release the day

Away the night.

Have you come to take me

To a world of fright?

I know not why.

Shall I die.

And where is it

My corpse will lie?

Have you come for me?

What's this I see?

A world of pain and misery?

Death comes I know.

Death comes I know.

Death comes I know.

A wonderful poem and one I enjoyed reading. Its message is one I have found myself pondering much lately. The ryhme scheme really drew me in and in the end found myself fascinated by this work as a whole. Very nice work. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.
