Kiss Of Death Poem by Dibakar Purkayastha

'Why you came so early' I quothed
'I came for our destined rendezvous
In a secluded place I will seize you'
She professed, quickly stepped near
with outstretched arm and crank finger
Quietly she tried for a hug, an embrace
Her pale face came down over my face
She beheld me tightly against that of her
I tried hard to get me released out of fear
Her lips came upon my lip for a long kiss
I threw her with all my might, phew a hiss
'Hold on death, let me pen my last verse
Until I finish, I cannot leave this universe.'
