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? © copyright skm

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? © copyright skm
