Cloaked in Shadows

Kunoichi

The lithe bodied taker of breath

Moving in stealth

Engaging the target

Slitting his throat from ear to ear

Moving in stealth

She overwhelmed

Slitting his throat from ear to ear

Cloaked in shadows

She overwhelmed

As he broke through the alley

Cloaked in shadows

The glint of steel was his last sight

As he broke through the alley

They met face to face

The glint of steel was his last sight

Vengeful she was

They met face to face

Observing his terror

Vengeful she was

For the woman he killed in a green rage

Observing his terror

Their eyes met

For the woman he killed in a green rage

Death became him

Their eyes met

His life force ebbed

Death became him

Writhing and wilting

His life force ebbed

Engaging the target was

Sable kuoichi

The lithe bodied taker of breath

    Oh, Kevin, would you ever consider putting her in a book???? I mean these poems about the Kuiochi warrior are AMAZING!!!! Your words are so great to say," glint of steel.....life force ebbed...sable....green rage!!!!" WOW!!!!!!! I've got to tell you this is great and everything I say will not do this art proper justice. I mean I can sit here and type all day long about how much I love this, but I really think you ought to consider writing a book about her or a collection of poems about her. This is GREAT ART!!!! 5 outta 5 baby!!!
