Death Is Dead Now

Death is dead now in the pleasant lap of the Immortality.
It seems to sleep in peace, not having slept for thus long.
It is tired now after dying so many times, deadly drained.
The horrid Death appears a naughty child, now, subdued.

Its red awful eyes have sunk in soothed shade of eyelids
And its raw sharp teeth are shut within the freezing lips.
Its soul-less abstract figurine now lounges with a shape
As its quenchless vengeance on Life finished in its death.

Death is dead now, it will wake no more, not any more.
Life has reborn in deathlessness, Death shrunk into Life.
It was the end of the beginning that had certainly begun.
It is the beginning of the end, the ending devoid of end.

Rakib Uddin Ahmed Date: 10/15/2011 1:47:00 PM Dear Br. Goni, It's a good write indeed, and true. Hope your dreams would come true too. But you know, we can't but die one day, don't we? But, Yes ...! We just will leave this world to get a birth into an another world where The Death will never come again as here he/she/it used to come. And, we'll be there for a long, long and long ...! Keep going. Take care as you did and do do. Rakib Uddin Ahmed Login to Reply
