Reaper

Harvester of souls in nightmares keep,
Lingering macabre in gallows creep.
Judgement surpassed, unruly yet set.
Time is no rule, it’s my time in reap.

Cruel fatal kiss meets my lips,
Comforting whispers eloquent in flow,
‘It’s time to relinquish your vessel and ship,
It’s time to pass over and let go’.

Elegant symphony strikes a chord,
Memories of loved ones my heart applauds.
Intricate heartbeat a flutter no more,
I am taken in swift to deaths allure.

Weeping souls stay behind,
I drift away to unknown plains,
My memory serves to remind,
My spirit in their hearts remains.
