Death Hugs Me Every Night Poem by Aftab Alam

Death Hugs Me Every Night

Rating: 5.0


My Muse, why do you confuse?
When I try to be a poet—
Then, like a poem you use

O my Love, when I love you,
You become a dream—
I lost in profound blue

Death hugs me every night
With hiss- kiss-
On quasi-dead, I see the light bright

Till dawn, I die for the life,
Whispering day break refuse-
Ah! Bird’s holy tune with Krishna’s fife

I listen and sing and dance with hope,
Till baby sun born-
With fear my evil trepidation elope

A beautiful poem on a poet's experience at night until dawn breaks and another day begins with bird's holy tune and Krishna's fife. It is a wonderful poem, I enjoyed very much. Thank you poet Aftab Alam for sharing this.

A passing phase of life. Who knows when and how.

I listen and sing and dance with hope, Till baby sun born- With fear my evil trepidation elope Death haunts, but hope provides.Truly life is a mediation between fear and hope.
