Scythe
A sigh
through silent grass
at noon, as knee-high green
falls down in tangles. Then again
silence....

Idle hands at work
the devil making hay…
dark shadowed scythe waiting.

Seasons of the Mind
spring is a hopeful bud of pink
summer is an ice cream truck bell
autumn, the red flag on an empty beach
winter wields a white scythe of hell...

City
Making the scythe weep
for a less willing dead.
My acres live inside
a cast of ignorant Birds.
The gradient sinks its teeth
into glass and fame....

O Waiter At the River Styx
Oh waiter
at the river styx,
striking down the might and meek.
Thou scythe
is camped outside my door;
waiting...
as with us all.
To take the good ahead of schedule....

Persian Scythe
Plucking my oud's sacral strings
her felt fingers glide across my neck
the goblet drums' frisky clicks
like an oasis nestled in the desert
Persia's striking sonority slices me like a scythe...

Life and Death
Life erodes the body; riding its waves, leaves one drained.
Spirit’s education, is wear and tear; the mortal is cut short.
Beware the reaper’s scythe; the scalpel of death, cuts swift and clean.

The Grim Reaper
The Grim Reaper
Scythe-wielding right hand
His demand is always met
Your death a touch of hand
Black-cloaked no face to see
Full time job guaranteed
Mythical strange creature
The first and last you will ever see...

Power of Death
The ghost with the cloak
stares coldly with no eyes
causing lids to shut
life thuds on land
his scythe steals souls and vitality
by the millions
creating profit for his red wine cellar
and in the end
he will stand on top...

Love
Love
is like lively rivulets
meandering through
valleys and meadows
merging into the sea,
like myriad stars
illuminating the heavens
dazzling the firmament

At the End
A scythe leaves, a
trail of grains.
There was no exit plan
*
for the grass. The
sparrows, will come
for a reunion.
*
A water pipe leaks.
A crow bends down
to get the answer.

Wheat
Steady lads
You're the farmer
You're the scythe
Sharp like a knife
They're the wheat
Stalks in the wind
Steady boys
They come again
Time to reap.

Come the Reaper
I know I’ve not always been good
He’s here with his scythe and his hood
I said you’re too soon
He said get up goon
And harvest this hay if you would

I Have Eyes But Cannot See
"I have eyes but can not see"
...said the man who slew his Saints
Cold a heart of mass complaints
Misled by his misery
And the angel said to him
"If thou wish to regain sight
Sacrifice thy soul with light
'Less thee scythe be Reaper's Grim"...

Excuse Me
Slice through the silence,
Scythe made of beads of time
How will we know the sound that silence makes
When all is done
Reality ripped from unreality
The last ear listening for the last wave
Silence at last but naught to acknowledge
the unending sound...

Dread
Fear the tap upon thy shoulder
Dread it more as ye grow older,
It will come, there's no escape
It bears a scythe, and dons a cape.

Death
Damned death, does it dilly-dally,
darkening doors then squirm pass by.
Disfavor of blood dark alley,
doors impassable; man, to die.
Dressed in a shroud, clutching a scythe,
dimmed soul as it began to writhe.
Dread fills the desolate valley.
