A Battle Between Life And Death

There once was a battle,

Between Life and Death.

And the victor got me,

To perish or protect Life’s little stealth.

Finally when the sky,

Wore its most precious colors

Red, orange, blue all together;

The sun and the moon glaring at each other

From one end of the horizon to the other.

The battleground saw something

Happen that day…

Tears falling in the blood-soaked soil;

While the King and Queen were unscathed from turmoil.

My heart was the knight,

My lungs are the rook.

But an echo of her voice

Was all it took. 

But Life, don’t let Death fool you.

You cheated this time,

But you’re at war with the inevitable.

A memory, a whisper or my loved one’s glance,

Can’t help you win me, since you

Really are a glorious little trance.
