In articulo mortis

a poem by Murty N S

When I meet eternity
in the cold embrace of death
the last perception I want
my neurons to deliver
is
the remembrance of YOU.
And the murmuring parting wish
that the paths we together covered
shouldn’t lead you to a cul-de-sac;
and that you reach the summit
unbriddlled with my thoughts.
While it takes you sometime
I cry off
with the pleasant visualization
of your having reached there… for sure.
