" DEATH "

The word " Death" always stuck on my mind,
When I think for a while,
I realize, death is uncertain,
I ask myself, will i die today ?
No wonders who's gonna die or survive,
But there is feeling within me,
Of dying today or tomorrow..
Life comes and goes,
But nobody cares who survives or dies,
Some are being frivolous about death,
until they know their near ones is dying,
Death causes grief and pain,
from which nobody gains,
I felt the same pain,
When my grandpa died.
People die, born and it goes on and on,
May be one day we can conquer death,
the fear of loosing someone.
Death is unpredictable,
which comes in everyone's life,
May god gave a strength to those,
who are in process of dying.
I'm prepared to die,
Are You ?

"Death is easy, peaceful. Life is harder". Lines from Twilight.

"Soon" a poem by Vikram Seth

Below poem is written by one of the India's most influential writer Vikram seth, he wrote this poem about a man dying of AIDS long time ago, its really a difficult situation when you write something about a person who is dying and had a very less time to live.

I shall die soon, I know.
This thing is in my blood.
It will not let me go.
It saps my cells for food.

It soaks my nights in sweat
And breaks my days in pain.
No hand or drug can treat
These limbs for love or gain.

Love was the strange first cause
That bred grief in its seeds,
And gain knew its own laws-
To fix its place and breed.

He whom I love, thank God,
Won't speak of hope or cure.
It would not do me good.
He sees that I ma sure.

He knows what I have read
And will not bring me lies.
He sees that I am dead.
I read it in his eyes.

How am i to go on-
How will I near this taste,
My throat cased in white spawn-
These hands that shake and waste ?

Stay by my steel ward bed
And hold me where I lie.
Love me when I am dead
And do not let me die.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness ! Compassion ! does these are really magical words..? Yes it is. We always tend to loose our conscious when somebody hurts or betrays you and lands up in taking revenge which is not correct. Saying the words, " I forgive you " could be the most powerful thing we could ever do. Forgiving doesn't mean giving in. It means to let go. Once we forgive, we are no longer emotionally handcuffed to the person who hurts you.
Life will go on and on, we will face situation's where in the person you have trusted the most might hurt you but never ever loose the courage to forgive him/her because every human being is not perfect, there are times when things just turns off unintentionally which leave a great mark of pain to your dear and near ones. To Forgive and forget is not easy. Its required a good deal courage. May lord forgive all.

FORGIVENESS IS THE BEST REVENGE.
