Poems
Oct 2014
Death - do you ever die?
Lurking in the shadows
Casting sly, furtive glances
Treading slowly without a sound
Thief who steals precious life
Hiding behind window blinds
A cold, silent stranger
Lying in wait for the right moment
To devour his prey
With a coy smile
He takes you in his embrace
Showering kisses all over
Taking your last breath away
Writhing in pain and agony
The sick pray for him
Yet he turns a blind eye
To their fervent pleas
He acts in mysterious ways
Sometimes striking a fatal blow
With bullet wounds, blood and gore
Or taking you away in your sleep
After the job is done
He flees the crime scene
Without leaving a trace
Of his presence behind
He dances in joy
Ignorant at his folly
The heart does not beat
But the spirit lives on
Death – Are you friend or foe?
Should I love or abhor thee?
Trailing life – like a shadow
Death – Do you ever die?
