Consenting To Death

Death, don't lie to the rest of the world Say it, Loud and clear That you and I are good friends! Say it, That you are, For me, The taste of exquisite chocolate As it melts in the mouth, You are, The orgasmic climax lovers feel When they get tangled in each other On those nights when the moon is too shy To even show a part of itself! You are, The moment creation happens in poets And artists of all sorts! Why, Death, You are my soothe, You are my relief, The hand I long to hold, The channel through which I shall go through Overjoyed, As free as a free spirit As free as a liberated soul, One so totally aware of the need to Be as exactly as she wants For life remains as elusive as is a reflection On river waters! Death, I revere you, I live for you And I await for your coming With music pounding in my heart And with zeal painting itself all over my soul! Though, I have one request for you, Be gentle with me I shall not fight you I shall accompany you, There shall be no need to be catastrophic with me Be gentle And lift me up to your realm Being a good friend of yours, I shall simply accompany you With a smile on my face And with curiosity in my heart As, Exploring what lies beyond Has been on my mind Since quite some time now!
