[Poem] On my death bed - Abiayi Chinemerem E.

On my death bed

The world spined around me

Breath was short 

Life's end was imminent

Eternity was close.

I hoped for a second chance

But was denied

Face to face with man's greatest inevitability

Alongside my Arsenal.

Unending tears shed

As I lay on my bed

Dry with wetness of sadness 

It was here;my end.

What a beauty!

All hidden when I had life

Just to be revealed

As I lie lifeless.

Good reports like a referral

In death I was made a general

The reason they partied 

But a guest in the world beyond.

Oh death! How cold

To leave this world untold 

Uncertain of the life after 

But sure of the pain we leave behind.

My last days I spent 

Reminiscing years felt 

Longer I'd want to stay 

In the place of rest I'll play.

All these thoughts colliding

But I must do nature's bidding 

I struggle to keep awake 

Eyes closing on my death bed.

Birth brought me 

Death took me,

Through labour I came 

Now I rest in peace,on my death bed.
