It’s a tale of Death who had a love for life
All it was known about Death was;
It is cold to the core and dark as a long winter night
Little did they know, how much The Death craved for Life
All day long it could do is, watch Life burning through the passing time
As the night approached, Death couldn’t hold back his love for Life
And he knew, The Secret
It’s the night when the time is right
For him to face the Queen like a King of Night
All the burns through the day will surely make her crave a peaceful night
And just like a baby as she crawled to her bed to sleep,
Death was sitting just beside her watching her lie down
like a baby in her crib
Watching her fall asleep some obvious questions flashed through his mind
Doesn’t she know I reside here? There is a reason, why they call it The Death Bed
Still why she is here? Just like me, does she crave for me too
With all the questions in his mind, he watched her slowly closing her eyes and turning her senses blind
Now, she was ready to blindly fall in love with the peaceful deadly night
So, death too crawled inside her to place his proposal
He whispered I am here for you my life
You need not worry. All you need to do is rest in peace
I am your dream come true
As Life listened through the deadly night, she could feel the calmness in his words and eyes
Finally, she could experience the growing ecstasy inside her, as she found The Peace she was looking for
Is this Nirvana or the God of Death?
she was unknown of the name she was looking at
For the sake of Peace, she embraced Death with her open arms, as it was her love, she was all day looking for
Just like life, death was also experiencing the moment of ecstasy of his life
It was a face of peace with stillness deep inside its eyes and a smirk in its smile
It was nothing but the moment of Union for heavenly lovers
Just like dawn and dusk in terms of earthly affairs
Filled with love, Death took ‘her Head in his Hands and pillowed it in his ‘Cold Shoulder’
Following the flow of melancholy, she embraced him tight
He could feel her warmth and she, his chills
Chills inside him made her senses quiver
And her heart pounced with a sudden ache of fear
She knew why she is here, but unaware of the fact who is HE and why is HE here
What did he want from her?
Parting herself from The Unknown, she asked him his name and all her Why?
He answered he is The Death
Who was known for being cold to the core and dark as a long winter night?
And the very reason he was here was that
From the very day, Death was born
he had an unending craving to embrace the warmth of life
Following the said he wide opened his arms
And said, oh life come to me, it’s time for you to rest in peace
Now she knew, why She is Alive
Distancing herself from Death she looked at his peaceful deadly eyes and answered NOT Today my love
I must not Die, as I am meant to be someone’s Sunshine
And just like a peaceful sleep for a bright morning full of divine
Her mere Death experience turned out to be an Elixir for Life.
