Premium Member The Grim Reaper Cometh
As All Hallows’ Eve approacheth my thoughts turneth to darkest dread,
Whilst in old age I harboureth a deep fear of seeing this one’s grim head;
Methinks the Grim Reaper cometh this time with his scythe in hand,
Which striketh maximum fear in me and maketh him feel...

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...

The Grim Reaper Stopped By
Unwanted visitor knocks at the door
Unwilling my feet that pace the floor
Wanting but not finding the patience of the brave
Peeking around surroundings for what would save
A ghost is still living in a haunted house
The heart slowly answers the would be shout
My after life still fears...

Holding onto his scythe
The massive scythe of death
The reaper looks for your soul

There is a small empty lantern
That houses dead souls inside
Swinging on the scythe of death

Death, with his rags for clothes
Just hiding the bones beneath
Power is under that dark hood

Standing tall and quite formattable
Wind...

The grim reaper came a calling and asked for me by name
I told him yours and then merrily went on my way.

The Grim Reaper
He arises from the underworld cloaked in black,
 Having two lifeless eyes peering at your unsuspecting back.
 Scythe gleaming from the reflection of the moon,
 The Grim Reaper is coming to claim your life very soon.

You go about your days thinking they will not come...
