As she
toddled by,
The flowers
started to droop,
“Ashamed
that she was prettier than the flowers"
Reasoned I.
The bright
sun buried his face behind a cloud,
Casting
grayness, along her path,
"Ashamed
that she was brighter than the sun"
reasoned I.
Even time
seemed hesitant to flow
"Ashamed
that her motion was smoother
and
unpredictable than the flow of time"
reasoned I.
Though conscious
of my following her,
She
pretends to be unaware of my presence, and
With a
smile, quickens her pace.
As she
flitted into a dark alley,
It felt as if
the darkness itself foraged,
to seek sanctuary
behind her.
soon, I
lost track of her,
as I stood
there lonely, in the dark alley,
Overcome by
darkness around me and grief as well,
drowned in
sorrows of my life, I stood.
"You
seem to be in great sorrow"
A melodious
voice remarked.
I
brightened up, sorrow and darkness long forgotten,
I turned
around and faced her.
"After
a kiss of mine,
None of an
Evil, shall ever befall you"
she assured
me with a pleasant smile.
I smiled
and closed my eyes,
I felt her
lips on my cheek.
"What
might your name be?"
Asked I.
"DEATH"
came back the whisper
And, I
thereafter never opened my eyes.
Indeed, It was
true,
"After
a kiss of hers,
None of an
Evil shall ever befall me,
For there
was no greater Evil,
Than, the
Kiss of Death".
