Oh Life!
Oh Life!
Before my being
is reduced to a footnote
hug me one more time...
I want to feel
the contours of yore
Before intensity of pain
pierces my core
suffering spins
dithering narratives
yields respite no more
kiss me one more time
I want to fly and soar
Before fate seals..
allotted time on stage
my acting prowess
no more regales audience
each effort
ends in a jarring note
hold me in deep embrace
oh! life..
I want to sip
the last drop of nectar
the untouched pockets have in store.
