It's a little dark.

THE REAPER
 
Silent I travel
In darkness or light
I move with no shadow
I feed on your fright
 
Cold is my touch
Fast is my blade
I’ll send you to heaven
Or hell’s fiery glade
 
I come at HIS bidding
Despite my dark deeds
I take what is owed
Of all fertilized seeds
 
I am the collector
Of all debts past due
I bring in the harvest
But no crops you grew
 
I’ll make you immortal
With my special skill
You’d dodge my great purpose
But I’ve a quota to fill
 
For I am The Reaper
And we have a date
Have not a worry
I’ll not be late

Love the lyrical flow of your poem! This one is dark, but a most enjoyable read. The Reaper does indeed come for all of us sooner or later.
