Death
Death, run that by me again
Do you want me to give up this life full of pain
and go off with you.
Can what you say be true?

Have I come to the end are you no longer my friend
but my foe, the one that I came to know
in those dark times.
When the rhymes would not flow and the tick of the clock sounded slow to my ears.
Are you my fears that have come home to take me?

Where is the face all ghoulish and teeth
that belief that I held?
Why do you hide just outside? please come in
Let's settle this over a tall glass of gin.
No,
Don't you grin,that look is obscene.

I have seen you before,
Once, as I lay on the floor and stared at the ceiling
I had a feeling that shadow was you
far too early but then, you knew you'd return.

So I turn and I gaze at this life
just a phase in the scheme
One more dream that is scattered
In gardens.
To grow afresh,a new bud
To come back but we knew.
we always
would.
