One More Day

Across the arch of years many a times

I tried invain

to revolt against

the bitter doom.

There is a stab-sense

bleeding me white

each day I hear

a desperate cry of my soul

to release itself

from the mortal pain!

A shadow of restlessness

creeps in my heart

And with ever wakeful eyes,

I watch each day-

the chaos dance of

Death-in-life.

I wish to die

but Death

generously throws me

in the arms of Life.

And Life smiles crooked

as I live to die

One more day!
