I feel death is like an unwanted guest.No one want to accept him but unfortunately no man can avoid his gloomy visit....Soo I wanted to write something about this unwanted guest.......

An unwanted guest

Death hovers all over
Like a gigantic gargoyle
Sneering by it's black teeth
On shards of unknown fortress
That we take refuge in
To shy away from guilt for fear
When it comes unannounced
When,where or at what moment
Face hidden under cover,invincible..
Uninvited, like an unwanted guest.........
Death is a mystery.
No one can hide from
its mockery.....
Yes,
Thats the misery......

Well this is probably not the most cheerful poem to read lol, and yet as you say we must all face the bitterness of death. It is simply inevitable. You use very strong and eccentric images and that sets you apart from the rest of the poets and makes your writing very unique. Nice.
