Sucker Punch

Death is at my bedroom door It doesn’t have to knock doesn’t have to show its face, I can feel its presence... Should I open and embrace eternity, Or for a few more breaths suffer mortality? ~Contest: Bitesize #55 ~Sponsor: Line Gauthier.

At my age I can very much relate to your poem, Abdul! I have decided to leave the door slightly ajar...:) Congratulations on your podium finish. // paul

We are in the same boat, my friend. Leaving the door ajar is the best strategy. Let death not knock. It maybe deafening!

I’m afraid death won’t ask for your permission when it comes to claim you!

Oh, but it does! What do you think the heart attacks and near death accidents are? They're forewarning that death has an eye on you, my friend?!
