Death speaks

In the long lost lands of saba,

A merchant sent his help

To get some ration from market.

The help returned, white as a ghoul,

Blood drained from his face,

Hair standing on edge like that of a boar.

On being asked for this predicament of his,

He narrated the ethereal event that occured

With him in the marketplace.

While buying rations, he found someone,

Tapping on his shoulders,turning he found,

It was death herself who was making frightening

Gestures to him.He asked his master to lend

Him his finest steed, so he can elope to Mida

And escape his fatal fate.

After sending his servant away,

The merchant went to the baazar,

Found out death and asked her the reason for

Scaring his servant away.

Death spake"I wasnt making any frightening gestures to him.

I was only surprised to see him here in Saba cause

I have an appointment with him tonight in Mida"
