Death is Near

The feeling of death being near to you

The Force of Death

It is near 

To take you away

To the afterlife 

It's waiting 

Stalking you 

Preying on the living 

Patient on its timing

It has two goals, 

reap and guide 

Reaping is timing 

If it's your time 

Then it's times up 

Game over 

Your soul is his to keep 

But he also guides 

To the place you need to go 

The Light 

To cheat death, 

is a fate cruel than death 

The Gravedigger is no kidder 

He's the real deal 

So embrace life 

Accept death 

For it's waiting 

For you 

 

  

Author's Note

If these images disturbed or make you feel uncomfortable, feel free to turn away. That's my note on how you get it from the third picture with graphic material. In other words: viewer discretion is advised.

Some of the pictures you see are from the dc comics storyline 'Blackest Night.' I just want to have a little fun with my poems when I go dark. I'm parental wise. F.Y.I., I love Geoff Johns' run on Green Lantern.

If you're able to overcome the fear (if you know what I mean) of scary images, lend more comments.

This very much reminds me of Rainn Wilson's character "Dwight Schrute" from the office. Just the entire format, wording, and message of this poem. I enjoy it for the message and how it is set up, but love it for how it reminds me of D-Money.

yeah... a bit too unsettling for me... but I read the words, and you did your collage justice. :)

I find these images more fascinating than disturbing. I love this kind of illustration, and the way you put them together.
