"i want to die while you love me"- georgia douglas johnson= my favortie poem

[cray_likes_fire]

i want to die while you love me,
while yet you hold me fair,while laughter lies upon my lips
and lights are in my hair.

i want to die while you love me,
and bear to that still bed
your kisses turbulent, unspent,
to warm me when i'm dead.

i want to die while you love me
oh, who would care to live
till love has nothing more to ask
and nothing more to give!

i want to die while you love me
and never, never see
the glory of this perfect day
grow dim or cease to be.
