Aisle of Death

Aisle of Death

I rose from the dark 

‌Broke the serenity hollow 

Wandering and wondering, that deadly silence there was haunting me. All of it started the night  

I saw the black coated strange fellow. 

The night of millions of stars  

Witnessing my stress  

Yes, of course I had no idea where was I headed to...  

Walking down some valleys, it was late at night.  

I walked fast to have a closer glimpse  

But the density of the fog that night was really thick.  

He was like a mystery who cannot be seen easily  

Suddenly he stopped, looked behind.  

Well. It was awkward.  

I asked my mind. Hello???  

Why the hell on earth I am chasing a mystery man, who I don't even know..  

Is he a bottle of wine I am addicted to?  

A heavy breathe from the man...  

In a shock, I looked upon.  

My colour of face faded, turned dead white.  

I wanted to run away. No I couldn't.  

My eyes were fixed on his deep deadly eyes.  

I tried hard, couldn't move even an inch  

As if my feet were glued to the street.  

Inside my head, I was screaming..  

What is all this? Am I dreaming?  

I felt something sharp, pointed to my waist.  

The deadly faced man with deadly eyes spoke up  

In a deadly voice of threats...  

My legs were trembling, heart racing.  

So fast. Oh Jesus...  

My vision discovered a shining silver knife leaning at my waist... I... Can't recall any further.  

The next thing I could sense, I was dragged into a grave.  

Swallowing me all over, the darkness at its best.  

That night, I walked myself on the aisle of death. I realised as soon as I turned my head.  

I solved all the mystery, right after I was dead.
