    Alter Ego

    No one shall pass through the grip
    of my strong hands
    when I am called to force down
    the person who now stands.

    I am summoned to take life,
    Another duty to fulfill.
    I want it; I love it.
    With pleasure I go to kill.

    I am death and I am strong.
    But my work is hard, I feel.
    With tears in my eyes
    I take life against my will.

    What a sad thing
    To write about
    When all the world
    Is beginning
    To come alive again.

  3. Russell says:

    Many wonder what death must taste like
    but really, the answer depends
    on the kind of life lived

    Death is a secret
    bonus level.
    Think of all the coins
    we will gather.

  5. Volkam says:

    I met him in a house macabre
    sitting under the dim luminescence
    of a dusty old candelabra
    I shuddered at his prescence

    “What kind of fuerte
    might you have young man?
    Enough to escape Muerte?
    Do whatever you can…”

    He’s been quietly near my bed
    while I have been ill for days
    yet he vanishes to the land of dead
    when life bathes me in its rays

    Again I saw the man
    as I faced the sword arm of death
    his dark eyes were expectant
    yet escaping I kept my living breath

    A third time he came
    after I had lost one who I love
    “you can slip out of this world” he claimed
    I replied “but not into heaven above”

    I still see him there and here
    but he leaves me mostly alone
    his voice I will not again hear
    until my body is as cold as cold stone
