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.
