If only I could DIE!!

A poem about how DEATH seems to be better to me than life :)

If only LIFE could see the tears, in the WORLD all around,
which lays straight, full of hounds and weeds,
snatching from us the pearls of joy, injecting in us the colors of doom.
If only I could 'not LIVE'.

DEATH sees through your eyes, moistens the lids,
doesn't let the tear flow,says it is precious enough.
Picks up a few(men) from the wrathful WORLD,
divine DEATH is, and colorful enough,
embellishes the body with a sense of touch.
It injects out the trash in body,
fills it with recipe of heavenly love.
If only I could DIE!!


If only LIFE could heal the dirty SOUL,
which muffles the feel, the touch, the life with thought.
Rules the mind, not letting it love the coveted heart,
creates a line between the two,
and then saying the mind flinches away from heart.
If only I could 'not LIVE'.

It cleanses the SOUL,
makes it shine with a droplet of life.
Lets the soul feel th touch and live the life,
asks the heart to love the mind.
If only I could DIE!!


If only LIFE could let free the BODY,
which is fettered in shackles, and crying in pain.
Movement restricted, places limited,
loves to fly , but drags on plains.
If only I could 'not LIVE'.

DEATH frees the BODY,
lets it fly, go places and play the game; the game of LIFE!!
Lightens the body, parts ceased,
just the cleansed soul and eyes to see.
Power unlimited, gets th body,
can rule the world, because it is the power of DEATH.
If only I could DIE, If only I could DIE!!


Love,
Anshul

This is a very complex piece and left me with many unanswered questions. I found the entire piece going slowly towards the track of pessimism.But still I found the entire piece very much inspiring.
An awesome read overall. Thanks a lot for posting it here!

We are all here on this earth for a reason, and not only because our mothers and fathers created us, but because each and every living being has a reason to be - a task to fulfill in this life whatever it may be. No creature, plant, animal or human lives in vain. You have to search for your reason to be, then you will have a goal, and the sun will shine on your shadowed soul - believe me. Noone lives to die in the first place. Death as Birth are part of our lives, but life has to be lived first.
Your work is very poetic and well written for it grabs the readers attention very soon. Keep up the writing and let me know of new pieces of yours so I can read them. Thumb up!
