Tuck away vanity forever <br />Don't turn your face off <br />Come to me one last time <br />I shall be in the dark shadow <br />For a little while more <br />The coffin awaits its last nail <br />Memories wait <br />I long for your loving touch <br />Don't keep aloof anymore <br />Please come near the coffin by the fire <br />I will watch the flames <br />Curling over into the sky <br />Perhaps, you will see <br />And think of our playful memories <br />I will wait for your comeback <br />Nothing will change in the world <br />Except for the small pile of ashes <br />Spilling over the vase <br />Which lies in front of you<br /><br />Bireswar Halder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-last-journey-9/
