Digging My Own Grave Poem by DASHARATH NAIK

How enticing being in love on lease
Now digging my grave in my heart
Toiling hard but with absolute ease
To bury myself in its formidable fort.

Conjuring up all the images of my life
In fulfillment with my words fairly wise
It's time I went on bidding all 'goodbye'
Who knows how it feels otherwise.

Lured in the symphony of golden songs
My valley reverberates in its orchestra
My living Utopia, my Odyssey my works
How pleasant living life in fancy's aura!

Life so sublime and I have had my share
My days have already been numbered;
Like sand grains, slipping from my palms
The sweetest thoughts yet to be shared.

The Sun will rise although already it's late
Form and shape will take designed things;
A meaningful life I have always dreamt of
And here I come, all my friends and foes.
