It floats along on mist and fog.
Here it comes.
Better run!
It stalks you on silent wings.
A shriek in the night.
Screams of fright!
It creeps and crawls with ancient need.
You must flee
for it will feed!
It comes for you on padded feet.
A dire plight.
Desperate flight!
Feel it slither on your skin?
Be very still
or it may win!
Now it's choking off your air!
Try to fight
with all your might!
Say your prayer,
hold your breath.
This is it.
This is Death!
Morbid, I know. Some are worse! Some are depressing, some are religious in nature. Some are about friendship, love or lost love. I ran pretty much the whole gambit! 
BTW - this one ALSO got published a few years ago.

I think a lot of people could relate to this one! Personally, I don't read horror novels - as I don't have hidden fears about death. I just think it's a doorway to whatever comes next, and am mildly intrigued by it, although not obsessed as I think living life in this moment, NOW, is what counts.
My flat mate likes horror novels, and we have many discussions on this subject! (Any poems I write about death are likely to be quite celebratory! Doesn't mean I've got a death wish, though, cos I absolutely don't. Life is cool, at least, it looks that way from where I'm sitting.... Again, thanks for sharing, lovely DragonMage!
