The aura of his dark cloak
Surrounds me
His deathly voice
Captures me

I have disappeared
I cannot think
As he kisses me
With his shadowy lips

He is everywhere
But yet nowhere
Soon I will perish
In his deadly embrace

He is owerpowering
I am inconsequential
He is evil
I am pure

He will murder me
While I stand by
I will die
As the dead watch on

Oh Father!
You must come
You must save me
From eternal oblivion

Save me
Save me
Do not be too late...

You are too late

Dramatic and Gothic, Natalia. Much passion in this, and it shows. Look forward to reading more of your work. Tina

I feel the Gothic tones in this poem. There are only two areas where I could see an edit. "Soon I will perish" should be "Soon, I will perish." And where you write "Oh Father" I believe it should be "Oh, Father." Reminds me of Darksiders 2 due out on PS3 and Xbox 360 the 14th. You play as Death himself. Good poem. Bryan
