Death Is a Full Blooded Young Sage

Inside the womb of
death 
Secretly sits a full
blooded young sage 
He is alone in his
own kingdom 
In a posture of deep
meditation  
Administering all of
us with iron hand 
While he keeps his
eyes closed tight 
No beating of
nerves, yet, he is
 Much more vibrant
and alive.

All around him 
All things deflate
and shrink
And hovers light in
jet black 
Absolute beauty
flashes
 In its all
wilderness 
And he is surrounded

With the ever
revolving ultimate
truth.
Like a shadow under
which 
He keeps pain and
sorrow,
 Love and hate,
hunger and thirst 
Carefully away from
us all 
So that we may never
repent 
After going there
willingly.

So we all go 
With a new dress
tucked with goodness

Spraying sweet
scented deodorant 
Under our smelling
body parts 
As of a newly
married bride or
bride groom 
Leaving all the lust
and greed 
Love of money 
Actually all human
emotions and needs 

Like of this
handsome death 
Life has too 
Same kind of image
and posture 
Like a hermit, like
a sage 
Bestowed with
endless energy
Power , strength and
tireless working
ability 
To create or to give
birth is in his
blood 
To him is an art 
Like an addiction 
And all he does with
everlasting love 
For ever ending love

As long as love is
alive life wins 
He does not care
death for any moment
at all
