Death Poem by Bireswar Halder

A stream of gloom in tow
The sun mellows in twilight
Colours of my life are as if fading
As if circle of life has turned fully

I wait pensively, with all grief,
Free from delusions and belief.
Each one - dear - left one by one
I am alone - only alone to mourn.

Finally, all organs loosen bit by bit,
No one obeys my command.
I contemplate a meek surrender,
Life-war in its final hours

I eagerly wait with strong belief.
With your pardon, I will get relief.
I am ready for the final date with life,
Your touch will make me only serene.

Let me have a deep sleep with sigh,
Away from affections and ties.
For a peaceful and eternal journey
Where humans get rid of tyranny
