Body squelched in tears
Soul drowning in fears
Stokes to know he's not numb
Bleeds to know he's alive
Every unit of time is a puzzlement
Is there a tomorrow in this broken arrow
For he decays by fraction and in fragments
Since man is mortal and death is certain one should not get depressed by the thought of death or even when one is on death bed. Birth and death are two definite destinations in every one's life, hence, death too demands a sort of celebration as one is willfully granted to birth. Off course this theory is quite difficult to digest when on death bed. Beautifully envisioned thought provoking poem. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
it's a theory about a man who is dying of a terrible disease(eg. cancer) and that's why it has to be so.. thank you for your comment.

You have nicely put across the psychology of a dying man- for whatever reason- through his actions and fears. New subject with a refreshing treatment. Thanks.
