An Address To Death Poem by Nazmul Haque

Can death really take you away from us?
How it can?
When you were alive,
We thought you but only once or twice,
But from now on you will be remebered
in every moment, with every single breath.
From now on we make our heart your home,
Come and live there forever.

Death, look at our eyes, can't you see sea there?
Look into our hearts, whose face can you find there?
...Now that every heart is crying for him in one tune,
Death, how can you take him away from us?

Oh crownless king, Who says that you are dead?
Let him be sure that -
We have covered your death
with the covering of your remembrance.
