Death Touched Me Poem by Rajmoi Phukan

Death came up to me
And gave me- a stinging pain.
He asked me a question-
'Why are the fetters of prisoner are still in chain? '

I offered my prayers to him
And death seemed to give me-
A hellish smile.
(I said- 'Take my soul to see')

To see? - said death.

Yes, for the mountains, for the skies
To the sun and to the moon,
Where my woman flies.
