Death's dark foreboding shadow wraps
itself round my rapidly beating heart.
Haunting nightmares of destruction devilishly
swirl through my shaken mind.
Terrible bonfires of molten fear flare within
the fireplace of my frightened soul.
Smoky tendrils of uncertainty and the powerful
hands of dark despair grip me as I watch
my pitiful life pass before my eyes.
