kanav justa - Bribed By Death

taken aback by a soft whisper
the sweetest he heard since years
as he wakes up from his weary sleep
blur in his eye disappears
the night lay silent like a coffin deep
in her eyes were daggers and spears

her hair black, and the night dense
godlike charm in her untrodden eyes
he was spellbound by her presence
moon envious as it wanes and dies
he sees her come too close and hence
from joy the young man cries

into her eyes he glances down
eyes that slayed all his woes
she wore a diamond embroidered silken gown
she holds his hand, they both lay close
her touch dearer than a golden crown
and love in his eyes arose

the light in the backdrop was dark and dim
as the two lay abreast
with her blighted lips she kisses him
and their bodies still tightly pressed
she smiles and smirks with an evil grin
lay a heart dead beneath his chest
