The Grim Reaper

The grim reaper eyes glow
as the god you pray to.
Fear tickles my feet as
I sink into his arms. I feel
at home.

The Scythe sings a song of 
demise, so now I open my 
mouth and  close my eyes. 
The imagery has appeared,
 a dark cloud of saddness 
is here.

My eyes cry black liquid 
as my

Premium MemberThe Grim Reaper


My skin has become like sandpaper
Blotches showing up everywhere
A pimple resides at the end of my nose
Some areas have unwanted hair

What 's happening to this body of mine
Seems it's just about falling apart
Ankles are swollen to twice their size
Been expelling a whole lot of farts

It's referred to as the ageing process
Is this what's in store

Premium MemberMister Death and Grim Reaper verses

When I saw the Grim Reaper
pull out his peeper and pee on the patio,
I yelled, "Hey Jack!
Can't you use the facilities out back?
That's what normal people do, you know.

I always said I wasn't afraid of death,
till one night, Death tried to rob me of my breath.
And as I was gasping for air,
he said with a

Premium MemberThe Taker

With an oar and a long boat
Down river goes the deal maker,
Ferrying another soul afloat 
... For I am their taker ...

Black cloak 'round my shoulder
Two coins in my bony hand,
I bring the younger or older
Off to a more distant land

Paddling waters, still and gray
Done a million times or more,
Candle and lantern to light my

In this tomb are the bits and pieces of the butcher Johnny Spicer
Got distracted whilst cutting meat and fell into the meat slicer.

The Godlike Bliss

Dear Breath, will you truly forsake me?
Dearest Death, will you be kind to me?
My favourite Life, are you satisfied?
My quintessential self, do you truly possess this demeanour?

Temporary happiness is always godlike bliss,
Permanence is a dutiful curse.
The more I look for profound beauty,
The more I go far away from my salient appetite.

Karma never forgives anyone,
Building a

Grim reaper forever guaranteed eternal plentiful harvest

Grim reaper forever guaranteed eternal plentiful harvest

the following written 
for no particular rhyme nor reason
quite aware the exit (stage door left)
allows, enables, to provide every season
with a bumper crop of dead souls.

many mortals beseechingly 
lift up their hands 
in supplication and inquire 
omnipotent omniscient force 
and ask why
since the dawn of civilization 
humans dream up

Unsnapped devil’s raincoat, castrated cork afloat.

Premium MemberGrim Reaper Waits

He lurked in the corner of the shadows below
Waiting patiently for his victim, a guy who moved quite slow
Jim had a feeling, so he dragged his feet a bit
When the Grim Reaper grabbed him, he threw a tiny fit

You know it’s your time, the Grim Reaper said to him.
His voice was serious, which sobered the

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 the nearing calls
Afraid of the souls quite possible fall
Why should

Premium MemberCandle Lit Grave

A candle is lit in a small dark cave,
Upon these walls shadows in EDM rave,
Flickering flame kiss cool, damp ambience,
Small Sparks fly up igniting silhouette.

Laughter, sinful pleasure in danger grave,
Misplaced desires, in handcuffs and enslave,
Whispers deafening, instantaneous,
Extorted dancers to owe reaper’s grim debt.

These foolish shadows thinking they are brave,
Little is known in darkness as a

Premium MemberGrim Reaper Greets Gremlin Gregg

grumpy grumbling grungy gregarious gremlin Greggory
gratefully grasped grainy grandma’s green grapes in glee
greathearted Gretchen greeted greenhorn grim-reaper with gee
grinning, groovy, grown grandson growled among grimy greenery

grandiose grim-reaper granted gratuities and graves gracefully,
grubby? Gruesome? Graphic? Gruff too Grandparents greedily agree.
gruff, gripping, grotesque, gratifying gravestones, grandiose in glee
grumpy grumbling grungy gregarious gremlin Gregg no longer will be.

Old Bones

Now listen while I tell you of a fella that you’ll meet,
Who is older still than even time could be.
His grin is kinda big and kinda straight and kinda white - 
Kinda threatening – a mite unsavoury.

When it comes your time to meet him, it’ll only be the once ;
You will never ever get

Premium MemberGrim Reaper Cherub

Grim Reaper Cherub has a feeling of power for sure
She wields her scythe and keeps her deadly mind pure.
We see her on the swing, and we wonder if she will lure.
Others to their death, and if so, is there a cure?

Grim Reaper Cherub enjoys the swing so fine.
Others want to cut in, but she says,
