I Cheated and She Loved It
I have been writing poetry, fiction and short stories for many years and have completed a book of poems. I also enjoy comedy writing.
My fiancee, my forever half
Life has taught us it’s viciousness throughout our past
We have felt hunger, deep hunger, and we have felt pain, even deeper pain
But throughout our anguish we have risen again and again
But what is this new thing that has come over our hearts?
What is this evil that has come to pull us apart?
But my destiny is paved and I have surrendered to my faith
She held my hands tightly and said, "you will not go through that gate."
The illness swept over my body and the only thing left was to hug death
But her sounds in my ear were that of a beautiful life as I lay in my death bed
No reaper, no not today, I have love by my side, I started to pray
Then death suddenly disappeared, I was amazed and in disbelief
As she kissed me gently and said, “I love you, for even death you have cheated.”
