Death!

Death knocked on my door,

Opened it, forgetting to look through the key hole,

There She stood as white as snow,

Looking through Her sharp eyes was itself a blow.


She cast her all knowing spell,

With such a voice that I fell,

The beautiful smile gave away the power She held,

Breaking the notion that I was primed and prepared.


There was lull before the pain,

But once struck, it made me insane,

Entire life passed through an instant,

I had nothing to repent.


I was burnt in an instant,

But rose like a phoenix the next moment,

Cleansed, I flew to my next stay,

While She searched for her next prey.

Obviously, since you wrote this, I trust this is fiction and not autobiographical. :-D

Very well written. Sounds as if you have written from experience. Strange subject, for someone like you, though.

@Sagar:
haha..:) Thanks...
Yep..Its a strange subject...But not that strange when we look at it in a broader sense..:) All we have to do is redefine "Death" :)

Nice one.. The ending was apt. "While She searched for her next prey."..

"Cleansed, I flew to the next stay" - some philosophy here..hmmm

Divya A L said...

@Dilip:
She's the daughter of "You-know-who" ;)

BTW, why is "death" a "she" ???
:-@

dilip said...

@Divya A L:
haha...
"The one who cannot be named" will have a daughter who will not even have a name..;)

BTW "Death" manifests itself in a lot of forms, so how can "She" be left far behind?!? ;)
I will leave your question as open-ended..;)
