Date With Death Poem by Sudam Panigrahi

Oh death, you've arrived
thank you very much.
Before my depart,
why not stroll a while?

Oh death, snatcher of life
enjoy life with me
who knows you would like
to live for a while!

Let's stroll a while
and explore life
a little bit more.
I'll go with you
certain
as no one has life
without you.

Tell me,
why do you come
before time?
Before the end of the life!

Anyway, there's my beloved
arrived to shower
parting kisses on me,
while you want to kiss me.

Can't you delay a bit,
allow me to kiss life?
Then we would have a walk
hand in hand.

There's a beautiful boulevard
filled with greenery and lives.
Let's walk there.

Alas! Before the kiss of
my beloved
life kicked me away
to the lap of death
and 'I'
consigned to flame
as death danced naked.

Somewhere, life
cried, shriller and shriller
with peels of joy
and celebration.
