Notes About The Poem

Death

Damned death, does it dilly-dally,
darkening doors then squirm pass by.
Disfavor of blood dark alley,
doors impassable; man, to die.
Dressed in a shroud, clutching a scythe,
dimmed soul as it began to writhe.
Dread fills the desolate valley.

It s truly is a really beautiful poem, a poem which contain a really deep message, funny isn t it that death is considered to be a villian but in actually it isn t, it ends all our pains, all worries and take us to a world of happiness, unite us with our God, this life is temporarily, real life begins after death,
