Death- A Nonnet
Kissed the parted lips in Emptyness,
the unseen,in quietness arrives,
Coldness gray frowns upon Life,
Heartbeats hushed to Silence,
Eternity dawns,
In stillness lay-
Immortal
The Truth-
Lives...

lovelyyyyyy lovely write :)
wonderful.. I was not aware of this system.. interesting.. keep writing ..
....life's End under the Death's sneer....unique and inexorable truth....NONNET??as you say....yes !It is!....and wonderful one!!
this nonnet is an indication of true talent
meaning of death explained just by 9 sylables. wowwww..
but death without life is incomplete n vice versa n so is ur poem. so complt the poem asap by writting the "Birth" part. dont make us wait 4 long.
indro....Death- A Nonnet....wonderful....mind blowing....you explained what is death in only nine lines....hats off.
Indrajit, great friend and poet! I am utterly mind-blown by the beauty and purity of this nonnet. May the muse remain with you forever!
Cheers

This nonet is an exquisite attribute to DEATH.
Again a wizardly composition ..!
