NOT A SUICIDE NOTE This is not a suicide note Yet not a melancholic fate I do not die Even so I look and lie Check my pulse For I live in this verse And in many more you shall find Scribbled of my fingers, bind By the want of inspiration All night I stayed action For love of poetry I made time grow weary And for the sake of rhyme I denied the due of time But if I do not rise by morn Please care not, nor mourn For surely as lives this verse I live larger, longer than the universe So if you find this piece Please I plead!
