Literature Text

the visage of the angel of death
feathered black wings a shadow on the night
leading me onward
toward the death sounds of a flatline

a silence i carry for eternity
lost echoes of emerald and diamond
the bones eaten
as the spirit dissipates in smoke

time frozen, exanimate
a cold fury of tears refusing to fall
burning decay
the mark of an unrelenting stillness

the impossibility of existence
breathing death's air saturated with ashes
a focused fear
cloying as the scent of dying roses

her legacy, an epic in lives
flowering generations of memories
mater mei
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae
first written submission...
no idea if i put it in the right category.

Great job! I love the imagery - "lost echoes of emerald and diamond" = damn cool. :D

It's basically under the right category. "General Poetry" is fine if you aren't sure what to put it under. Just browse through the categories to get an idea of where to put it. Even "Horror & Macabre" could fit this one.
