Angel of Death - or Death himself
The smell of death
invades your nose
The air, stenched
with rotten flesh,
pastes itself on
your tongue
The sound of whispering
tortured shrills of a
thousand souls creeps
into your ears
A terrying chill tugs
at your skin making
the hair at the
back of your neck
point in all directions
The sight of a
lifeless forest of hope
blinds your eyes...
...and you know
that HE is coming -
for you
invades your nose
The air, stenched
with rotten flesh,
pastes itself on
your tongue
The sound of whispering
tortured shrills of a
thousand souls creeps
into your ears
A terrying chill tugs
at your skin making
the hair at the
back of your neck
point in all directions
The sight of a
lifeless forest of hope
blinds your eyes...
...and you know
that HE is coming -
for you

Death surely has that greusomely sickening odour about him.
You described him very well, so I enjoyed this :)xxx

I've smelled death, seen it too. It's not pretty. The poem was good...you write very similar to another poet I know.
Again, nice write.

Interesting how often we identify death as being masculine ("he"). Others will suggest that that death is neither female or male.
Then there is the question of the fear; is it really a fear of something that is unknown?

It's one of those stereotypes that we grew up with and that we just can't seem to get rid of.
A fear of the unknown... I think it definately is. Humans are always afraid of the unknown. They were even afraid of the concept of industrialisation,yet look how easy life is now with all of this technology connecting people worldwide.
