A letter to my death

DEAR WOULD BE FRIEND OF MINE
THE day you decide to enter my life  ,
your presence should not be felt,
if I should seek your embrace ,
anguish should not be one to comfort me,
allow me one day of endless feasts and celebration,
let laughter abuse my body, 
so to ignore sadness persistant residence.

FOR your power is immense
please give my loved ones joy ,
in the knowledge that you and I are marrying into oblivion ,
the journey you will embark on to get tome,
don't rush it ,
enjoy the scenery,smell the flowers,
look at the sun  and please ask him ,
what is to become of tomorrow?,
never forget the moon with its mystery,
allow me to prepare my arms  to ambrace you
when you enter and close the door to my life.
