This is not a suicide note <br />yet not melancholic fate <br />I do not die <br />even so I look and lie <br />check my pulse <br />for I live in this verse <br />and in many more you shall find <br />scribbled of my fingers, bind <br />by the want of inspiration <br />all night, I stayed action <br />for love of poetry <br />I made time grew weary <br />and for the sake of rhyme <br />I denied the due of time <br />so if I do not rise by morn <br />please care not, not mourn <br />and if perchance you find this piece <br />please, I plead, hold your peace <br />for surely as lives this verse <br />I live large, longer than the universe <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />NB. <br />Expression on the immortality of poet and creative works<br /><br />ifedayo oshin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poet-s-bedside-note/
