Death
Like betrayal
Lingers at the corners of love
Ready to stab
Just when you expect it least.
Death
Like woman’s smile –
Bewitching, mesmerizing –
Ready to bind
Just when you think you’re done with it.
Death –
Perhaps when I embrace betrayal
Or free self from the trappings of love –
I will turn around
And embrace you too.
Death till then
Is only an epistemological hell
Three stanzas beneath my verses.
