His cloak.
Black as night.
Swirled with grey.
Drapes over his body of bones.
His eyes.
Pitch black Shadows.
His staff of bones.
The goblet he carries.
Filled with.
Deep.
Ruby.
Blood.
Since the Dawn of time.
He has been feared.
Loathed.
Hated.
Wished for.
He is the giver of.
Life.
And.
Death.
He chooses your fate.
The Raven.
His follower.
Pitch black wings.
The color of the darkest night.
Is a calling card.
For Death.
He follows his master.
Obiediently.
Death needs no.
Permission.
To take souls.
He knows.
Everything.
Your.
Lies.
Sins.
Faults.
Love.
Joy.
Secrets.
He can wash away the surface.
Where the stain still remains.
When he comes.
He shows you,the things you wished to.
Hide.
Forget.
You can never hide from Death.
He watches all.
Death comes in many forms.
Few have seen,him.
They say that when you see him.
Your body,turns cold.
As he shows you your fears.
He feeds off of.
Fear.
Grief.
Distress.
Left when he is through.
Is a body.
And a black Raven feather.
He takes another soul.
As he departs,he leaves no glance in the body’s.
Directon.
He calls to the Raven.
Who perches on his shoulder.
He walks into the shadows.
Leaving.
To find.
Another soul.
To take.
When Life asked Death.
“Why do people love me,but hate you?”
He replied.
“Because you are a beautiful lie.
And I am a painful truth.”

    This is AMAZING, as in “Gigi’s new favorite poem.” :) The ending is so strong, and there is so much hidden meaning.
