How Did Death Find Me

How did death find me?
I thought I was just dreaming.
O like seriously
I slapped death.
I know you can't!
But I just did.

Look!
This is how I reprobated his blue.
I fetched the sky for him to sip
Since his throat was dusty 
Like the harmattan.
Yet still smile did not dance on his face.

Again!
The waft of the volcano slapped him up
So he was dripping here like a crying bottle
Filled with unflustered water.
Poor you!
O poor you!

Look!
I pleaded with the heavens
For the seed of air
Since Mr. Death was dripping here
Like nobody's business.

Hm, hm, hm.
I can't believe this.
Mr. Death is indeed a Judas.
Upon all the things I did for you, Mr. Death,
You made me devour the knife.

O Mr. Death,
So can you crunch the moon?

O Mr. Death,
O Mr. Death,
Did you  know deep within that
I'm more than a Victor?
No, you don't!
Yes! I know  very well you don't!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
