With Fear

I shivered with fear As death bell rang to ears “Come on, pack your luggage” You are now off the age At one point of time, I decided to plead But in seconds, thought and read The beautiful wishes and message She was at far end and waiting to read my page I forgot the presence of death messenger He was visibly resolute and showed an anger I was unmoved and stared with forceful desire Some miracle took place and if found him not near It was little pain in hand and chest congestion I saw real death and thought of our relation “Your face came before me and I simply dared” That is how I escaped from dragnet and fared You were and are my strength I take each count with your breath Are you listening to my words, o love? I simply try to catch glimpse and believe You should have been to my bed side I wanted few words to confide I know no one can take me over As I have your illuminating face as cover
