IF I DIE TODAY <br /> <br /> <br />If I die today <br />I die tasting the sweetness of your lips, <br />The scent of you, breathing in, <br />I die feeling the warmth of your skin, <br />The smoothness of you under my fingertips. <br /> <br />If I die today <br />I die remembering the closeness of our embrace, <br />Eclipsed by the curtain of your hair <br />I die sharing the depths of your despair, <br />The beauty of your face above my face. <br /> <br />If I die today <br />I die knowing you length & breadth <br />Along the S-curve of your spine <br />I die like a Buddhist counting time <br />Accepting your gifts as unique wealth. <br />If I die today <br />I die setting new trends in fashion, <br />Rejoicing as our limbs entwine <br />I die with your eyes looking into mine, <br />Peaking the mountain of your passion. <br /> <br />If I die today <br />I die knowing our souls are twin <br />Vibrating as a matching pair <br />I die without another care <br />Understanding that in yielding, I win. <br /> <br /> <br />August 17th 2009<br /><br />Josephine Dunn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-die-today-3/
