--- Eager Reaper ---

Jamal

Eager reaper is just the working title until I find something better
I am open to suggestions ...


The lesser cravings take control
My mind is theirs to tamper with
No more than a puppet on their strings
Needs need quickly be satisfied

Sure I’ve had my share of sins
Though I lacked need to confess
The ever closing reaper’s scythe
Blazing glaze of grey demise

Wherever treading, flowers fade
The smell of death ensnares his trot
While warmth and comfort flows in winds
As he set my soul aflame

I'm normally not one to bump ... especially not my own work, but I find the last stanza so great I just felt the urge to do so

sorry

Hmmm, I like the piece but I'm having a hard time thinking of a title. I was kinda thinking something along the lines of, In His Sights........or, The Grip....or maybe Charred but, I don't know. It's hard to title someone else's work!
