Favorite Quote:
Replace old memories with new ones.


The taker of souls,
the bringer of death.
Black are his goals,
he seeks to stop your breath.
Underneath the hood
a skull rests on the shoulders of Dread.
He stands to oppose all that is good.
Alone he conspires, never a tear to shed.
Reaching out to take your life,
with a single bony finger
he will succeed in this strife.
By itself, your spirit will linger.
Age or youth, he will come,
To extinguish the wildfire you have become.

Another one of my darker sonnets, Touch of the Reaper is one of my earlier poems.
