Memento Mori

Note: Like the previous one, this post is not suitable for superstitious people. Enjoy the rest of your Chinese New Year holiday! Btw, Memento Mori means 'Remember you must die'.


Memento Mori
He comes like a gentleman
Clad in silk and velvet
Innocent cherubic face
Come to put out the candles of my life.

Memento Mori
Pretty rose petals part
He speaks my name
A shiver runs down my spine
Where does he hide his scythe?

Oh handsome Death!
He carries me in his arms
And whispers in my ear
"Memento Mori, 
remember you must die!"
