Darker

I am the Déjà Vu you feel on entering a room,
I am the chill upon your spine on sunny afternoons,
You feel me when you say "Someone just walked across my grave!"
And I'm the razor blade that cuts you when you take a shave.

I am what makes you hurry when you're walking home alone,
I am the cat that's staring at you from across the room,
I am the feeling in your stomach just before you fall,
And I am what awaits you when you quit your mortal coil.

Be sure you know I'm waiting for that fatal final slip,
Be sure that I'll be present when you dive in for a dip,
And when you're at the seaside and the water looks so cool,
I am the current there that's going to sweep to your doom.

It's only just a moment that I need to make you mine,
And once I have you, you'll be gone until the end of time,
So go about your business, gather rosebuds while you may,
And be aware I'm with you waiting for that fatal day.

As you slide down the Bannister of life, be aware you're gonna pick up a few splinters in the arse along the way.

Mr Reaper

The grim reaper finds his victim, There will be no time for fixing. After death, after life, Mr grim needs no knife. His boney finger, Is what makes him the reaper.

Breath Of Death

It can't been seen or felt. It can't be heard or smelt. It just lingers in the air. A presence just there. By day it lays dormant. By night relishes in torment. It seeks out a soul. To make it whole.

Mr Grim.

The reaper grim,. Has come herein,. To take your soul,. With his scythe,. You will writhe,. Until you're no longer whole,. With his hooded cloak,. Your life broke,. Your meeting will never end well,.

Darkness is a funny thing

Darkness is a funny thing. It hides in the light, just a blink behind.

The Name Is...

#movement. Bend me twist me. Name me shape me. As long as you know. You won't escape me. Tall and flapping. Upturned collar. Can't be bought. With pound or dollar. I'll be there. Thru darkest night.

Last Breath

Dreams are uncontrollable Nothing hidden or buried out of sight Reasons unrecognisable Simply listen to that bump in the night.

Dying...

#youngwritershousehold It felt like someone was pressing on my lungs, tightening them, trying to make it impossible for me to breathe.

Deathbed

#nightdwellers. The room is white,. Blank and clear,. No other soul in sight,. No other person near,. The pain still there. And multiple breaks,. My mind gone soul nowhere,.
