Death & poet

Sunday,23rd May 2021

 

If death is only the threat

I shall love to greet

embrace lovingly and face

its cruel trace

 

why should I stop writing?

if there is infighting

about death and survival

let it be the fate of as an individual

 

I needn't worry

and carry

the uncertain fate

and be called " the late"

 

I am poet

who shall never remain quiet

but put on writing

even if death is dating

 

if the truth can't be highlighted

the life can't be equated

for the fortunate

and unfortunate

 

one day I might depart

with my dying art

I shall not stop

till the life and death gap is filled
