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

Tim Smith Date: 2/20/2016 5:44:00 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 Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 2/20/2016 6:02:00 PM Whats Hockey? LOL

Sandra Adams Date: 2/20/2016 11:11:00 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 :) Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 2/20/2016 6:01:00 PM Thank you so much Sandra!

Jill Spagnola Date: 2/20/2016 5:41:00 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 Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 2/20/2016 6:01:00 PM No, not that, lol however a famous location to find galmi would be Prague Czechoslovakia , late 16th century! Jill Spagnola Date: 2/20/2016 12:52:00 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 Date: 2/20/2016 10:48:00 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!
