sohini dey - Death

My tear-sparkled eyes release a drop.
I smile.
They said you would be so grotesque.
They said you would be so dark.
They said that you would drive me into
An uncomprehending dizziness,
Lead me through a dreary, dark tunnel.
They said, but scarcely did they know
For they have never seen you like I have.
Death, you are beautiful, you are bright.
Look, all the flurry of life, all those sparkling
Twinkling, blinding lights seem so dim
Now that you are here.

I am in my senses, there’s no incomprehension
And I can feel your embrace
Oh so warm! Oh so assuring!
I’ll walk with you far away, away from life.
Now that you have come, take me away.
