DEATH

Each nanosecond draws me slowly but closer
to your arms, sweetheart.

Reluctant, I glide to your treacherous embrace,
drawn to a magnet.

At this life’s journey’s end, where you wait
an ever-patient lover,

I must transcend the borders of my destiny,
meet you and surrender my soul.

Accept the kiss of death,
and account for even obscure misdeeds.

Helpless, a prisoner of my Karma!
