Description And as I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death.
My soul is snapped out
In my last quick breath.

My eyes get whiter
As I lose all sight.
And soon my mind
Begins to lose all fright.

My skin begins to fade
As it grows ever more pale.
Then my heart stops to beat
As it begins to fail.

Hair now black and thick
Running down to my feet.
Wings grow from my back
With the tips touching the street.

My life now a shadow
As I walk down the ally.
Killing all the flowers I touch
Walking in the valley.

Cool poem - interesting idea, starting with a line you've heard that inspires you and going from there.......good way to get the creative juices flowing.

Hey thanks for the comment. Yeah the song was in my head and then I just started to make my own poem out of it. And it worked.

I like it! I love how the end does tie in with the beginning, makes it a well rounded poem. And it has great imagery (yeah can't spell, I hope that's spelled right but it looks wrong...anyway) I want to see this finished picture now!

The finished piece looks great! The hair and face (minus the really long parts of her hair) actually look like you as well! Good job Meow-meow!

its a beautiful poem, i like the imagery a lot. and the first two lines are originally from the bible i think, or some religious passage, bone thugs have also used it, and manson has too, though i think manson reworded it somehow, i cant remember. but i like the poem kitty, wicked stuff

Thanks James. And her fingers are kinda crooked. When I get the other one done then, I will put it up. It should be exciting. I am colouring a copy of it and hope to have it up soon.

the ending is beautiful..creates a sort of symetery with the beginning. Walking through the valley of sahdowed death...becoming a shadow. Its very pretty.
