Poem -
~ Death To My Left ~
{a special delivery}
Death,
Hovers there
Just over my left shoulder
Waiting,
Stoically,
Patiently painting
The shadowy expanse of my fear
And through its diligence
I find my frustration
A most constant, cryptic, calling,
For Death
Does not waver,
Or even deepen
It simply haunts my soul with its
Inevitability,
And I am made agonizingly aware
Of its presence
For,
(again & again)
Wherever I go,
Whatever I think,
It lingers
There,
Off to my left
(my weak side)
It waits,
To deliver its
Parcel,
And then
(most cruelly)
It makes me,
Sign for it....
Tony Taylor

Hi Tony a Brave write...
Of the inevitable end..
But on the hand the start of a new after-life.
At a certain age nothing occupy our thoughts more than our own mortality.!
Hay Tony great poem
I love your poemsÂ
it has the feel of
Shakespeare to it
and death is partÂ
of life and no shouldÂ
worry about it it willÂ

what a fantastic feeling of dread these lines convey to me ....the icing on a cake of doom and torturous anticipation...great write Tony ?

Hi Tony, this is poetry to my heart, death has always been close to me, I always feel it and im beginning to accept it as a way of life, a gift for me and those who see it too.
I absolutely love this poem and it's just another reminder for me that I'm not alone on this earth, that there are humans who experience what I experience, thanks.
