Soul Thief

Devil.. Uncanny..

 

Clothes nicely pressed,

he was impeccably dressed,

long hair with a touch of gray,

rather effeminate in an odd way,

with dark horn-rimmed glasses,

that made his eyes stray

short, stocky,

but not too cocky,

a far cry from a pitch-fork,

red jumpsuit and horns,

but he was there collecting souls,

walks up to the dead politely,

and before he takes it he warns,

he collected on a premise

that the dead have no expectation

of privacy,

as they could all see,

and they understood the living’s apprehension

whether or not you feel the grief,

he takes the souls with little tension,

but good-looking or not he still is the soul thief.

Nice attention to detail...

Clothes nicely pressed,
he was impeccably dressed,
long hair with a touch of gray,
rather effeminate in an odd way,

you create a vivid image.
