My Account Is Ready Poem by Doris Cornago

My Account Is Ready

Rating: 5.0


I shouted at the end of the lane

'Come hither', but you don't notice

On account of the blistering rain

You got your bike and drove away.


Dreams merge with my consciousness

I am adrift in the essence of wishes

Secretly stashed in my hope chest

You smell of musk in my heart's nest.


You always tell me that you can't come

Jumping through time, I made you mine

I have wisdom of ages, sword unsheathed

I conquer all obstacles, even myself.


What is mine to give is yours still

Who knows if we can pay life's bills

There will be tomorrows unconquered

but my account is ready, all cleared.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Death is a topic avoided by most, if not all. Possibly because it spells a dead-end to everything - hopes, plans, wishes, everything that a man wishes to establish before his number is up. The poet wishes to end the suspense by saying, hey, one day I will go, but no problem, I will still be here and watching you. Her only heartache perhaps is that she will be in another dimension where there will be no encounter with people she cherishes - loves? - most. Rest easy, nobody is really forever lost, just transported, these are her words of comfort to all.
