Life and Death 
Thus, this universe is full active with these

Let no pain enter your brain.

That game spins on  life and death

Life asked Death,
"Why do people love me but hate you?"
Death responded,
"Because you're a beautiful lie and I'm a painful truth."
Form: Rhyme


That's How It Is

An involuntary enter
an involuntary exit
a shaky beginning
an uncertain end
life and death
entwined
by beginning, by ending.

Stormy Daniels

After red life and death

Weather warning

From storm Ciara to Daniel

Is it just me ?

Or has the actual weather got worse

Leaning

leaning on life
but holding onto death
realizing how life and death 
begin and end but not knowing
what the trueth behind it is

love, hope and faith
lessen the suffering in life
and comfort any fall 

with death
providing a safety net 
catching  one and all

Tanka

I stare at the sky
all day long, wondering if
I'll last or be 
gone, the ocean tides rise till neck
can't tell apart life and death

Contemplation

Who are we to say, my dear,
when we're able to leave this plane
and exist within another sphere
where life and death are both the same?

Life and Death

The moment you understand death,
                                          is the moment you understand life.

Time
ticking
running out.

Mortals buy it not,
angels cannot sell it:
She is born by life and death..
"crave good things but not all at once"

Life and Death

So long as you raise your pink dance at the window, no need to pay any heed to the black rose.

To die is inevitable;

      To live is doubtful;

             To exist is an option!

Life is the undisputed child of death

for

nothing lives, without something else

dies!

Life and death

Are not two..

The story of these  

Finds a timeline..

Start and stop..

The separation

Necessary for 

A story of life...

Cynosure

Lovely dense poem
In the paths of life and death
Ocean in movement
A coveted companion
In a starlight or neon

Title

A thin rope between life and death
                              
                                               A pop of a string can determine your fate

life in balance
until tragic loss
why is death so ruthless?
