Sumptuous slumber

Sand dunes stalked piece of land
scorching sun severed sonata
sweet slumber sobered senses
youth enslaved to theory of relativity
time keeps slipping like sea sand
captured in a lavish photo frame
a smiling face rid of gloom
will always be alive and untouched

every tick takes me closer to my grave
am I scared of dying
or scared of death itself?
pain of parting says it all
with super strong senses
it will find me from darkest hide outs
i may fool myself
with false promises of living eternal
like a dove closing its eyes
on deadly approach of canine
thinking its not there.

oh death!You are inevitable
an unwelcome guest, a mighty foe
you keep everyone on their toe
the duality in you
hurts and heals the wounds
left open by you with ointment of time
some plan ahead of your visit
some even beyond you
none wants you still none escapes you
am i astonished at you?

no one understands you
nor the gifts in your bosom
a great pacifier a humble equalizer
your justice is unbiased and unchallenged
you break all illusions of the invincible
taking away all wear and tear of life
ceasing all chasing and cravings
rejuvenation is your weapon
you reside in transition
neither in end nor in beginning

you enslave time and keep it guessing
a mystery amidst misapprehension
novelty your desire , liberty your duty
an unflinching and ungiving discipline
your virtues are firm even on road less traveled
cries and shrieks cant melt you
you will take away everything
every possession,every relation , every achievement
every inch of my body which has been closest to me.

pain and misery your pretences
peace and harmony your promises
like a mother you nurtured me
every night in the garb of sleep
waking me up to a new dawn
ridding me of the push and pull of yesterday.

But you have your limitations;
the one who will know
all your secrets and beyond
will be able to escape you .

am i falling in love with you?
