Have you been to a funeral 

A celebration of life when one is dead ?

The guests were full of cheer !

They laughed ,they made merry 

And for my burial did I tarry 

                                                                        My heart whirled around in eddies,

                                                                        They called a stranger my lover 

                                                                        Strange are the ways of the world

                                                                        As strange as the man they said was my lover

I blushed ,they laughed

They led me to my pyre,

With a burning torch of fire ,

Passion kindled passion                                  

                                                                        The flowers strewn on my pyre,

                                                                        Scorched by the flames

                                                                         Lifeless like me-the cadaver

                                                                         Burnt ,scorched ,dead

To embellish the pyre

of those who plucked me and them

We burnt together ;they died ,

I lived after my death

And my predator called me life ,love !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
