Death (very creative title)

Prompt: Use six literary devices and the following words: arcane, mercurial, inimical, derelict, incorrigible.

He lurks - an old arcane man

Old as time - old as mercurial life

He is bound by none

He is seen by all

He lurks - an inimical hound 

Pounces, tears 

Leaves souls derelict - hollow -

He comes all too soon - abrupt - 

He lurks - he sees -

A peacegiver in war - lets go, frees

He grasps the key of fate

He is long expected - long overdue - 

Incorrigible - 

Yet - he is embraced

He is feared - is loved -

He lurks -

He is seen by all.
