Jaws Of Death! Poem by Geetha Jayakumar

Jaws Of Death!

Rating: 2.0


With a heavy heartedness
She moved towards the jaws of death
While standing on the shore she called for help
But all showed her way to the mid of the sea
As her path was moving only towards the sea
One old feeble low voice did raise but couldn't support her.
With a heavy heartedness she proceeded her way further.

Knowingly she started moving a head.
She had to reach the big lotus
Which bloomed at the mid of the ocean
Where she was destined to rest finally.

Only two choices she was given
One path is she has to travel all alone, full of fiery wild sea animals
Thereby protecting self from fiery eyes of strange sea animals
Who are ready to pounce on her for blood
If caught she have no choice left but to bleed herself to death.

Other way is she had to cross the path of octopus
Which will smother her to slow death
Thereby infecting her with painful virus.
Death was sure to smoother her but a painful and slow cancerous death.

Which path she should choose?
Both the path are leading to lotus!

Life is of few days
Live a moment only for self, for time left is unknown.
May be a tiny breeze of happiness you may be blessed with
Not knowing what will happen the very next
Laugh and live merrily till you drink final sip of nectar or poison
Which ever your life has offered with.
Never let anyone know of what you drink.
Drink the poison which should look like you are having nectar in your glass.

Never let the world know of it.
Till you are finally gone! ! !

The terminus of our journey is death... No doubt! What ever be our position in life or how many may be there to help us out, each man has to steer his own course... It may be for our gain or ruin! But we alone are responsible for our choice! Knowing that life is not an easy game, plunge into life with hopes and never let the world know that we are cowards! Great write Geetha!

ideas may be different....only positive people with positive mind speak correct way... she could have move in a ship to that spot.. for that she need to find and alternate way......dictator is not human any way...Never let the world know of it....it should not be a way to that spot but to the way of hope.................

Mirza Ghalib Hawas ko hay nishate kar keya keya Na ho marna to jeeney ka maza keya. (Desires force us to enjoy life through our acts, because of a sudden death that may come at any time)

Never let any one know what your drink. There is no harm in knowing the actual by the noble minded friends and surely they help us that I think.Life is beyond our prediction and time is limited and many things we have to do as obligation to the near and dear ones one may attached. A beautiful poem and interested subject of life concern.
