Poetry Thread: Doomed Life

 A poetry thread started on May 21st led to this creation by AjiteshBohra and me, alternate lines by each one of us.and the last four paragraphs by Ajitesh. Putting it together to make a coherent read.

Chill setting in a heart full of warmth
A desolate gloom 'midst laughter swarmed
doomed to a deathless life for ever
Love and joy, I have known never
Trying in vain to lessen the agony

Writhing in clutches of Fate's tyranny
Ah that perpetual wait for the end
The end, O Death, to thee befriend!
Alas you will never knock at my door
My wait is condemned to be a frivolous stupor
I die a thousand deaths a day, to recover in a minutes sway
But this perpetual oscillation never goes away.

Rosy youth to a corpse pale
O death, 'twas a tragic tale
Broken hopes and dreams stale
Oh the curse of life does ail!

Lo! For the Fates are truly worded
Death to one and all awarded
Peace and eternal sleep rewarded
Our memories by friends guarded.

Death and doom on me impending
My time here slowly ending
My heart, it stops, unto sleep descending
Into thine arms, o death, ascending.

'Tis a toast unto thee, Death!
Solemn prayers, a floral wreath
Silent tears, my friends weepeth
As peacefully in my grave I sleepeth
