Dares of Death

Death is ok only if It creeps and seizes abruptly Snipping down on prey Like hawk on loose fowl And take us once Leave deceased in lamentation. Yes thats ok, we die once anywhere. For this path has two ways, The coming and the going Its better die not knowing The ailment bearing your death calling. Death is ok only if We are to endure Heightened climax of life by pain As our ableness is drained In perpetual ailment inviting Eyes to pair around as to cradle, Attesting the last lap as minds confound To the mystery of this debilitating vigor Gazing to the groaning mutters Of the living tormented soul.
