Death’s embrace
When death beckoned me forth,
I stood uncertain, pondering his call,
he held promise, my turmoil end
A chance to flee, visions to enthral.
And there he stood, death’s silent silhouette,
A hand outstretched, offering respite,
Convinced it was the sole path to take,
I ventured forth, into his embrace’s light.
In his arms a sense of security
A pledge of hope, entwined with fate,
He glimpsed my anguish, my inner tempest,
He drew me close and gave a vow
“I shall return to you my beloved
To take you with me, through endless nights,
When your days wane, and life’s chapter closes,
Your indelible legacy, bold and bright.
Eternal, our love shall endure,
Beyond mortal bounds, it shall persist,
In the realm unseen, our souls entwined,
A final embrace, in eternity’s mist.
I shall embrace you forever my love”
