The Grim Reaper

I see you
I am no fool
Like ravens over prey
You are keeping your eye on me
I see
With my one good eye
Your hunger
Salivating lips
My heart may stop beating
My arm feeling the pain of your grip
I laugh at you
You forgot to keep the musical score
As I wrote my notes for the masses to pursue
Ah you let go once more
See?
You will win one day, no doubt
Darkness is our brotherly connection
Death our final compromise


Galmi
We all know you will fly again
Over death and ancient ways

Jan Allison February 22, 2016 at 3:53 PM This is very deep and dark my friend - I have vivid images of a heart attack - were you listening to Queen sheer heart attack when you wrote this as I feel it is a bit of a conundrum? :-) hugs Jan xx7

Tim Smith February 20, 2016 at 5:44 PM Excellent piece Arthur. I'm sure it's not about hockey but with the temps reaching Ito the 60s today all the ice has died....btw we'll take Subban off your hands Arthur Vaso February 20, 2016 at 6:02 PM Whats Hockey? LOL

Sandra Adams February 20, 2016 at 11:11 AM i can relate to this one, perhaps because i have felt death's hands grab me a few times myself and somehow got luckier than others around me and broke free... good piece :) Arthur Vaso February 20, 2016 at 6:01 PM Thank you so much Sandra!

Jill Spagnola February 20, 2016 at 5:41 AM Arthur, I am still in the study of your piece as I comment...It is not dark for your work, I looked up the def. "Galmi" and I don't get correlation?..duh...you pen with smooth, strong, imagery with this wicked conversation! :), jill Arthur Vaso February 20, 2016 at 6:01 PM No, not that, lol however a famous location to find galmi would be Prague Czechoslovakia , late 16th century! Jill Spagnola February 20, 2016 at 12:52 PM c'mon A.V., "give it away, give it away, give it away now" ~ Chili Peppers...I am unable to locate the English def. of "Galmi"..apparently I can not access the proper resource...all I get is Galmi, West Nigeria or sumntin?? Arthur Vaso February 20, 2016 at 10:48 AM Ah well, if you look at the link, one photo gives a small clue, and I will give one more, galmi in english translates to two words! Will wait a bit to see if anyone guesses!
