Cold Kiss

She saw a shadow bent over her,
death's mouth was hungry.
She struggled
to break free.
A cold kiss opened her mouth.

Midnight Darkness

She stood there,
together in the midnight darkness
with her lover. They swayed and stumbled forward
over the edge
locked in death's embrace.

Death’s Mask

Posted on September 15, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
The face of my nightmare,
Death's mask
coming to life.
The mighty fury of
his blazing eyes
in the dark.

Death Itself

Posted on May 9, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Death itself, is
depths of unfathomable water.
Things submerged, shut forever in
eternal frost.
Life's end is a sleep alienated
so complete in black.
