Cruising To Eternity Poem by john tiong chunghoo

reads like Emily's but it's mine:
i take a sunset cruise to eternity
set everything down and leap headlong
into the coppice heavens where they say
there is no end and beginning
i hope i wont be recorded for entry
so that i could feel privileged of eternity
- with no beginning to my being here
mortality is quickly left on the other side
without even a door between us for that
would also constitute a fault to my cherished eternity
that boat fanned by the sails of five senses
to afford me here would be left to sign its
way out in wriggles, shimmers and glimmers
every inch of the corrupting remains would
be swept clean to reveal its tenacious hold onto life
that ressurection would not be another white lie.
