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."..
@Karthik:
Thanks maga..
If only, death was as 'beautiful' as you portray her to be...
@Krishna:
Believe me she is! :)
I dint like the subject really! So unlike you! :) I sense some hidden meanings here..haha..
"Cleansed, I flew to the next stay" - some philosophy here..hmmm
A nice one..
@Pratibha:
:):) Thanks..
It would be really interesting to see what hidden meanings each one sees here..;)
Ahhhh........ The gal whom you encountered in ur jog turned out to be a WITCH!!! No wonder you opened the door!! ;) What a twist in the story!!:P ;) :D
Good one!! Nicely writtn!! :)
Which witch are you talking abt?
Oops i should be asking which gal ru talking abt? ;)
@Dilip:
She's the daughter of "You-know-who" ;)
BTW, why is "death" a "she" ???
:-@
@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..;)
I loved the lady.. u know what... u perish.. she remains.. such is her charisma
@Me:
Not really..I dont perish, i just move to a different plane...But SHE remains..
Such is our Charisma..
