RAJ NANDY - POETIC REMAINS

POETIC REMAINS

Bury me with a copy of my book of
verse,
When time comes for me to rest;
Keep this book close to my heart,
By placing it squarely upon my chest!
There is no need to lament my demise,
Since my soul shall remain forever
enshrined, -
In all my verses and poetic lines,
To survive the oblivion of time,
As memories gradually fade!
For once my soul breaks the mould,
Nothing else shall ever remain;
Save my book of verse on this earth,
As my sole poetic remains!
