Death Poem by sohini dey

Death

Rating: 5.0


My tear-sparkled eyes release a drop.
I smile.
They said you would be so grotesque.
They said you would be so dark.
They said that you would drive me into
An uncomprehending dizziness,
Lead me through a dreary, dark tunnel.
They said, but scarcely did they know
For they have never seen you like I have.
Death, you are beautiful, you are bright.
Look, all the flurry of life, all those sparkling
Twinkling, blinding lights seem so dim
Now that you are here.

I am in my senses, there’s no incomprehension
And I can feel your embrace
Oh so warm! Oh so assuring!
I’ll walk with you far away, away from life.
Now that you have come, take me away.

very nicely written. but i think you should think of more lively things. death means inexistence. we did not exist before we were born, and we will not after we will die. so, u see, in the ocean of inexistence, life is a mere ripple. enjoy it to the fullest. u won't have to yearn for the embrace of death. when time will come, it will find you.
