Death

My first poem ;)

 

Death is a killer that can bite

       anywhere, anytime, day or night.

It brings sorrows to all

       every person, short & tall.

 

Death tries to overcome man

       Through infections & diseases.

But when man annihilates them through medicines,

       Death’s work hardly eases.

 

Death is a bitter truth

       That cannot be changed

Neither can it be destroyed,

        Nor can be it exchanged.

 

Death is always untold

        It can come even now!

So fast to catch you

        That you’ll never know when & how?

 

So folks, don’t expect life

        To have a long journey for you.

Maybe death may come running just now

        & dearly embrace you!

This one may sound childish since I had written this years ago.

Hi Chirag. So you had the will to write way back when!!! It seems to me you have matured in thought and made great progress with your writing. I did like the concept of this poem, death awaits all of us and from a youthful standpoint, I think you have expressed that very well. Good poem, alf

Death is always uncertain dear. Life is too short, live each moment as a last one and enjoy as if many are waiting to embrace you. :) good one

Well said and hard subject to write. But you made it brilliantly. Great job friend.

Sounds a little like a young man in the middle of hormonal changes speaking of death after losing someone. I like it. An oldie, but a goodie. Thanks,
