I felt death last night
it passed me by
I don't know why
I felt sure the
overgrown path of
weeds and stubble
that I was forced to
walk on  barefoot as
my heart did an
eratic death dance
while hot pain shot
up through every
fibre of my entire
being as I caught a
glance at the grim
dark cave with its
gaping maw seeming
to beckon me for the
 kill, and I'm here still
laid out in my bed
with pain unending
wound unmending
but still here, am I
supposed to care
that death passed
me by, I can only
ask why?
I admit to a fright
But, it didn't last
I was angry that
it went by so fast
I wanted it to take me
to end this suffering 
quickly no more misery

I appealed to
the Supreme
who answered me
with a dream:

I was descending
into the abyss
felt the wings
of a gorgons kiss
as they brushed
over me with glee
gloating on having
their way with me
horrified I could only
wait and see

Empty mouths and
 eyes gaped at me
maniacal laughter
followed my journey
an incubus was beckoning
in the hellish pit of reckoning
paralyzed in total fear
until I screamed
" GET OUT OF HERE"
 Answer:
 "This is  the death you wanted,
before its time my dear"
