Do Not Die Today

Light flashes inverted into time,
Revealing the gifts wrapped in a box.
Death does pull the biggest hoax.

For to die early is a crime
Forgotten at the beginning of a story
With only the grave to herald your glory.

Let not the beauty of the sun drown you,
Heaven does not spit only dew.
Come! taste of my sweet cove,
Let me kill and resurrect you with love.
Every creaking registers our stay,
So please, do not die today!
