Before I finally enter darkness <br />I wish to be surrounded by friends <br />All waving farewell and broadly smiling <br />With Kisses and hugs eternally beguiling <br /> <br />I wish to be held by a litany of lovers <br />Remembering the times spent laughing under covers <br />Swearing our love lives on forever <br />Promising they will leave me never <br /> <br />Before I finally enter the darkness <br />I wish to smile at 10000 faces <br />Spend a spring day at the county races <br />Swim in a pond after an all day hike <br />Go out and lazily ride my bike <br /> <br />Defeat the evil rescue the meek <br />Kiss a maiden upon her cheek <br />Love and love and love some more <br />In bed all day till half past four <br /> <br /> <br />Before I finally enter darkness <br />I wish to spend hours bathed in warm bright light <br />Cajoling rebuking the cold eternal night <br />Raving and ravaging the last vestiges of spring <br />Thumbing my nose at the whole death swing <br />(flipping him off as we dance and sing) <br /> <br />Before I finally enter darkness <br />I wish to be surrounded by friends <br />All waving farewell and broadly smiling <br />Hugs and kisses so beguiling <br /> <br />Finally leaving <br />Without grieving<br /><br />BEAU GOLDEN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-i-finally-enter-darkness/
