    On Dying Breath

    The gift shared if ever by two,
    Then it’s all I want to gain in loving you.
    One last kiss, I surrender to thee,
    If I should beg or simply ask, for you to love me.

    My soul opens up to embrace a new day,
    As long as it’s you I feel at my side, then I'm okay.
    If you do not love, then simply lie,
    For it’s your heart alone I can not deny.

    If you only ask, then be sure to receive,
    Once spoken, you loved me, I will surely believe.
    A part of you, the embrace I long to give,
    In this lifetime, together with you I shall live.

    When dawning hour approaches, as ocean rushes to shore,
    On dying breath I whisper, "I love thee" drifting into Heaven's door

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
