Death Poem by Afrooz Jafarinoor

Death

Rating: 4.6


There came death again and took one of us away
It flashed and took the senses from some of us away
It turned into a wave on the waiting beach of life
It washed another name inscribed in sand away
The salt in water hurts our eyes
It will hurt till our turn arrives
We will melt in the fire of sorrow for our dears
We will be a straw in its powerful seizures
The light straw flies with joy and no pleases
We will be left with thousands of challenges.

I didn't only see it, I felt it by the power of your wording. What an excellent piece you have here about the 'quietus' in all its profundity. Thanks for writing this, please. I grew the next second upon reading.

Death does keep coming again and again, taking away those we love. The pain we're left with hurts our hearts and souls forever, yet one day too, death will take us away. Realistic poem on death and it's effects on us all. Very well written, great imagery! Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
