Bribed By Death Poem by kanav justa
Bribed By Death
taken aback by a soft whisper
the sweetest he heard since years
as he wakes up from his weary sleep
blur in his eye disappears
the night lay silent like a coffin deep
in her eyes were daggers and spears
her hair black, and the night dense
godlike charm in her untrodden eyes
he was spellbound by her presence
moon envious as it wanes and dies
he sees her come too close and hence
from joy the young man cries
into her eyes he glances down
eyes that slayed all his woes
she wore a diamond embroidered silken gown
she holds his hand, they both lay close
her touch dearer than a golden crown
and love in his eyes arose
the light in the backdrop was dark and dim
as the two lay abreast
with her blighted lips she kisses him
and their bodies still tightly pressed
she smiles and smirks with an evil grin
lay a heart dead beneath his chest

Death bribing is a new theme indeed. Your poem is stunningly appealing here on meritorious theme that has a novel approach in poetry.
i'll stick this in my Sept.2018 showcase, highlighting poems on PH by poets 'of' the Indian subcontinent. I would tweak a bit of grammar if I'D written it, but ……...I didn't. it will be used as is. bri :) Thanks.
Who was she, Satan in drag? An absorbing read. You have a very imaginative mind. Well done.
she holds his hand, they both lay close her touch dearer than a golden crown and love in his eyes arose kanav, before i looked back at the title and figured out what 'she' was, i wondered if something else might aRISE between them! sneaky b++ch! ! and it took reading the great comment by Sunpricess to get me to understand blighted lips, but your title also would explain that. the night lay silent like a coffin deep ........i really liked this line and now i believe it might have been you cleverly foreshadowing what was to follow. thanks for sharing. goes to MyPoemList! :) bri
