Sense the shadow in the corner,
cold breath upon your neck?
the sudden drop to sheer suspense
—that’s me you have to check

I’ll take you in a heartbeat
while you’re caught in mundane schemes;
the misstep on a busy road
—just your time, it seems

The pip in the cherry,
the weapon in the tools;
life appears an endless dream
—I’m here to wake the fools. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 238 [topic] => 13 [informant] => spike [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

'I'm here to wake the fools"...

Excellent last line. Overall I'd call it quite unique, not something I read everyday, and it was quite enjoyable to see your take on Death. Good job on this one.

My dear spike,

An interesting concept, of life an endless dream and we, merely fools rushing
about in a panic to get things done before we awaken. If fool I be, I am happy
to be awakened by death rather than some unhappy thought that life ISN'T a
dream, if you catch my drift. I love how you captured the essence of that "sudden"
finality that all are so surprised to witness, knowing full well it was on its way.

Excellent post, poet. Hope all is well with you and yours. ^_^

~Breezy
