    Cindy,

    This is absolutely fantastic..

    Technically, it is perfect. (to my eyes anyway)
    Three verse, telling a sad tale of death.

    1st verse - I see a bed, a hospital bed maybe with a dying person in it? I rather like to think that they have been allowed out, so that they can die at home and around loved ones.
    In a chair is the lone loved one. They have waited up, watching over, waiting for the inevitable, memories flooding through their mind from happier/ healthier times. The tears are so full of pain and so unstoppable that eyes bleed their pain too. A last cry, a cry that no one wanted to hear, but knew it would come anyway.

    2nd verse - Here is the darkness, the angel of death has arrived at waiting for the last cry. His job begins once it is heard, taking back the once mortal souls. I see his deathly, fearsome shadow hovering over the bed, reaching to claim back what will soon no longer be needed.

    3rd verse - This makes me feel like this death is from a disease - a terminal one. This makes it dark indeed. A life robbed by the devil curse. I see this angel now, a demon, a servant of the devil; moving in to steal away from the innocent.

    Cindy, this is amazingly good. I am in awe and have only praise for this poem.

    Well done.

    This is dark indeed. I like that you added a description of the form at the end. It is helpful to those who aren't familiar with it to know what rules you were adhering to. Nice job.

    No challenge too big, no form or style escapes your tallented mind.
    To me you've described one's final moment of existence in a dark yet beautiful way.
    Keep up the great work my friend.
