Wish to do more before dying.A VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE :Dear Universe, I don't understand your cruel cards, What did you think before throwing me here?I live in my sepulchre, Where there are no laws;Why can't I choose my fate?Why can't I visit the pleasure's gate?With all the visions I have, I can only see a few things. My kinsmen are seen offering elegies to me,Those who detested my presence seem to Pen eulogies;They talk to me with the hope of something, But I am not able to comprehend this monologue!My dear ones have painfully risen up From the dark abyss of my last breath.They bemoan my absence in a harrowing manner, To the extent of my blurry eyes.Oh thee! It's my affliction that I am not able to Be there for you.They ask why did I leave soo early?How shall I explain them the  tryst with Yama?He stopped for me and we have been sailing together Upto date.The city of my Poems ,Looks so stark for it knows that it's Sun and moon wouldn't return.People are trying to preserve my compositions, But wasn't it my wish to have them burnt after my departure?Will my literary museum enchant lofters?Afterall those achievements were the purpose of my life With them. I am seeing everything Oh child!But I also feel the joy of this afterlife. I am a solivagant soul here,Happy with all,Yet waiting for the pendulum clock to bring me back to you!Oh universe! People rip off their happiness, To live with Hades.But please tell them the real story in the grave, I wish those eulogies could find me!But I know they can never. I can just wait and only wait  To dissipate into the unknown .But life over here isn't as bad as I thought, Or maybe this is just an illusion?~LAVANYA ~@thepowerofwriting
