The Emperor of Death.


The  Emperor of Death.

The storm and thunder begin.

On a dark bull with knells

While darkling spreads

 “The emperor of death”

With a coffin box, rod and ropes

Landed in the abode.

Oh! The emperor of death

Yea! It is the fact

It gets to at any time in any form.

In any castle or any shed.

It can take any one’s life.



 In front of a man whose

 Limbs are paralyzed

In an accident at abroad

Now at home still on bed.

Smell medicines all over body

Bed sore wounds with pus

While he sputter

Drops of blood

Incontinence happens in bed.

His wife nurses him always weeps

And keep on the prayers

Kids unaware are playing

In nearby rooms with laughs.



Dogs howl and owls hoot

“The emperor of death” comes quite close,

Hey man “I want to detach your soul

Death makes the ultimate liberation”.

But he said it vaguely

 I had many loved ones here

My father, my mother, my wife, my siblings

Because of them still I am living

 My soul and   beating heart

My virtues, I don’t want to leave.

He Pleads! I want to survive.

Adieu this deep pains

And allow me to live.



The man started to cry

“The emperor of death” in compassion

Sobs his tears and smiles

Tosses the rope and coffins in the sky

 Your  soul in deep meditation.

Heart is longing loved ones

 Wake up with more love and hopes

You can be alive in this world.

“The death” vanishes from his eyes.
