The Angel of Death
She stands before you with a soothing smile
Sings a final lullaby
Makes your heart beat one last time
Before you can whisper a goodbye
She wears black, is dressed to kill
Softly caresses your skin
Puts you to sleep for eternity
Beauty outside, but evil within
She comes to you at your final hour
Eyes filled with promises
Stops the pain with a single touch
Beyond life, she relieves the stress
She takes lives with an undeniable grace
Kisses away your final breath
Makes your sorrow disappear
Behold, for she is the Angel of Death
– Just Patty –

Patty, Day 3 of NaPoWriMo with “The Angel of Death” …..Good one again, naturally! The Angel starts out sounding like the “tooth fairy” ( Do the Dutch have one of those?). But you show her dark sided scheme as she steals you away to that place beyond life on this earth. Very well done. Phil
Thank you Phil! 🙂
Yes, we have the tooth fairy in Holland as well. 🙂
Hugz & Love my dear friend! ❤
