Death

Again you have surprised me.
A love you need not be afraid of,
All the lure of a beautiful man and his gifts
To make you forget today and yesterday
Looking earnestly forward to tomorrow.
Your arms hold so much promise
I always knew you were coming
But yet.......
Again you have surprised me.
I am covered in goose pimples,
Shivering in my vulnerablity
As i stand in your gaze.
I am  unsure
But have me you must.
Every cell you can command
The beauty and fear of it all.
I have been waiting for you but....
Again you have surprised me.

I am not ready.
