The Reaper

Reaper's depth
ebb and flow
the crisp cold transforms me
contemplation of death so sweet
that cease the flowers forever more

Stagnation untwisted
sheaths fall away
uncovering my darkened beauty
ravish the thoughts of day
dust rise upon my darkened reigns

Unlocking the gate
rusted old chains break
welcoming this death
I search no more
uncovered anew
Reaper's death

I breath once more
with blackened breath
a bitter lust
Death is painless as I laugh
no more fight upon my soul
Reaper's depth consumed me
As I have let go

nicely done. well penned.

In this poem I foresee bits of myself. I linger between the lines and picture each stanza as a fragment of a puzzle. Truly astonishing poem.

Wonderful, full of imagery that is dark and stunning, your word usage is astounding, "Death is painless as I laugh no more fight upon my soul"...brilliant :)

[Hotwater]

dark stuff, quite a picture here, you've created an extra "hell" ! lol "death is painless when I laugh", I hope it will be like that for me when your "Reaper" arrives!
Well done.
