Aimanu Begum - Waiting for you

You know, these days sometimes
I am almost in love with death.
You are surprised.
But I too wonder if it is possible
to fall in love with death.
There are times when I feel
I am waiting for death
like a newly-wed bride, almost impatiently,
to come and embrace me, hold me tight.
Kiss my lips with promises never to part.
But I know, like some cruel lover
death will not come to me now.
And will take me by surprise
when I will be dreaming of sunshine and flowers.
