Best Reaper Poems

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...

Blue sky turning cobalt
Black cloak in the wind
A skeletal shape
Looking for the innocents sins

Ravens above
In frantic flight
Their master they chase
Decrepit delight

Scythe in swipe
Cutting and swathing
All before him
Bloodied craving

The sands of time
Around his waist
In timely pursuit
His deathly taste

Don't fear the Reaper
For the innocents with no sins
Will...

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...

It was nigh on to St. Crispin's day
But I found no solace there.
The night curdled with discontentment
As a vile expectation filled the air.
Death himself appeared at my door...
His heinous purpose not yet clear.
It ripped me to the very core...
It tasked my soul with fear.
'Forgive this...

I've buried some and I'll bury some more
Hell no I don't keep score

If you see me, it's over
Shoulda picked a different clover

I don't care whose gonna miss you
I just wanna hurry up and get through

Don't cry or try to run
You can't believe things I can...

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...

I have come for you, mortal one
the way that I have come each time
for anyone! Such is your fate.
As surely as you see the sun
each day as you stand by your gate
to watch the new sun start to climb
to sky, I come! There is no...

Who are you  ~  I ask?
The grim reaper am I, came the reply. 
I say  ~  I'm not dying or dead.  
So you say,   came the reply. 

So why have you come this way? 
I am surely not...

In the magic kingdom Disney's pen he did draw
A slightly dozy tiger and a bear named winnie the poo
The Lion king and Simba who brought joy to all who saw .
Dumbo and his big ears amazed the world and flew.
and king Louie in the jungle,...

The Reaper stalks the night alone.
His death-forged blade by all is known.
Made sharp on hades' obscure path,
he lurks to wield its edge fierce wrath.

Men knowing this all fear the night,
each darkened turn or failing light.
When souls do tread his shadowed ground,
they rue the Reaper to...

Cloaked in midnight gusts, 
The wind scythes the grove of trees;
Death is in the air....

Who's gruesome presence beckons
For whom the bell tolls....
