Poetry Pages - Chapter 1

I have been writing poetry for like forever, I don't know, I never track. But I do know that I love writing. So I thought, why not put it on the blog? I decided to name these poetry pages, basic but it does the work. For the first one, I am just putting 1 poem and maybe later on I will put 4- 5 in one blog. So I present to you one of my best-written poems, I feel, Truth of Life...

I met Death again in my sleep last night,

It's been a lot of time since we last met,

Don't remember if it was centuries or just days ago,

We sat and talked near the grave.

It wasn't dark and gloomy,

But full of light.

Death isn't all black robes and skulls

But full of realization and understanding

He asked me about Life, "How is she?",

like an old lover, reminiscing his times with her,

I told him about Life,

And he silently listened, as if listening to his favorite song,

"Becoming better and better as time passes by"

"Ah! Time, my old cruel kind friend

Only his cruelty makes a person grow,

But I am glad to hear about life,

but who knows where she might go",

Death said.

I just replied, "And when she's done going from highest to lowest, She might leave, only to come back again.

Death smiled and said,

"Time wasn't exactly at your side at first

Until you made him your friend

So is the same with life

Sometimes she is your biggest foe,

Sometimes she is your most nice friend

But alas, in the end

Even the best of friends leave",

I asked,"Made them my friends once,

Would do it again,

Some friends are worth the trouble"

Death, at this surprised, asked, "So you know?",

I just replied, " Well you just don't visit daily",

Death then said," I was glad to see you grow,

from your last birth to this one, you have changed,

May your soul ever grow wiser,

Until the next time we meet,

Let's go, Life is waiting for another reunion,

and Time awaits his friend."

I didn't wake up my old self the next day.
