Hamzat Adams Poet Elegy

Death of Me

The Death of me
Differ from death of you
Death of mine stays in me
While yours follows you
Thou sees not of thee death
Death of faceless faces

The death of me which dies with me
Death is not of one
Death is that of many has living soul
My death shall dies with me
Has Thou death shall kills thee
Only one death has been made for you

Only if my death could eat
I will offer the fruit of forgetfulness
Only if I can kill
I will kill Him before my time
Only if my death is blind
I will hide for Him to pass me by
For Him is here with me
All I can pray for
is Him growing old with me

The Death himself await
For God's death
Which is promised
If death is killed by God
Than who will we call death?

The shaking of death as the mind tries to conceive! and the shaking of the mysterious facets of death, as you are rendering in your very words, in its depths and dimensions! A thought provoking poem! A pleasure to read for its uniqueness! My deepest regards. Blessings. Hamzat Adams February 8, 2019 at 6:23 PM Thanks so much for reading me
