Welcome Death

the fear of death is greater than death itself...

withered leaves, t'was so plush,

stripped canopies, once merry mush,

the light of life, very faint,

everything gone, only darkness remains.

the tilted hourglass, empty now,

time to take your final vow,

a last, shaky, wheezy breath,

extinguished by the hands of death.

the ever victorious conqueror awaits,

none have bettered, none can evade

but, my dear, never fight,

just surrender, it'll be all right.

flood yourself with memories,

the beauty of life, you will see

close your eyes and you'll believe

death is the start of another eve.

burnt to ashes, your body may rot,

but the thought of you will definitely not

your spirit, your soul will always remain

never forgotten nor in vain

welcome death, tis not the end

only the beginning, my merry friend,

let it come when it must

go and get back your life's lost lust!

It is indeed a nice poem and i liked the way you portrayed death in yet another way..I really like the use of words and the flow of language in this beautiful poem...and all the more you tried to rhyme each and every line which made the poem all the more interesting and because of that not for a single moment while reading your poem , it sounded monotonous...and actually this is the first poem i have ever read of yours and not for a single moment or any word , line or para on this poem , i felt that this was a different style of writing for you...i thought it is what you always write and felt like it was your comfort zone but after only did i read author's note that this was different style of writing for you...one from which you have written before..i indeed liked and i enjoyed reading it...
Never do leave writing...Keep on writing and thanks for sharing....
Take care

It is always interesting to see how other people perceive death, this was a very interesting poem I really enjoyed it these lines " flood yourself with memories,
the beauty of life, you will see
close your eyes and you'll believe
death is the start of another eve." Were just so excellently written.
