𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒆

I have never had a wishlist to be accomplished for I fear what if I die 

undone or half-done

that is in between and they only bury

my body while my soul gets 

stuck amid leaving and staying

and keeps on lingering there forever.

Nonetheless, before I take my last breath,

I want to write poems in mountains 

and about mountains;

I want to spend nights watching 

oceans sitting under the serene sky 

and listen to their late night 

conversations with sparkling stars

till dawn to quench my lengthiest 

quest of knowing whether the moon actually meets the sun even for a nanosecond and if it does, 

I want to know the least thing 

that any lover can carry for its beloved.

I want to fall in love just a moment 

before I die for I have learnt that love and heartbreak are complements 

and I fear heartbreak but don't wish it 

either to restrain my heart from

feeling an emotion of which 

even Gods have chanted melodies of.

However, I want to be someone's last love,

the one whom he dies loving 

and loves even after he dies 

for I fear dying in someone's heart

more than the death itself.

And as I lie down in my deathbed,

I want to pass on all my earnings 

to this needy universe for 

I don't want to die absolutely even 

when I'm dead but wish them to 

keep me alive rather than getting 

vainly decomposed in the soil with 

my other organs;

I want to pass on 

my kindness to the rudest heart,

my humbleness to the arrogant soul,

my smile to an orphan child

and my empathy to an apathetic man 

because when I die, I want to 

leave behind the little change 

that every human merely wishes to do

no matter if this universe only recalls 

the last letter of my last name 

or manages to forget this too.
