Across Poem by Vikram Seth

Across

Rating: 3.6


Across these miles I wish you well.
May nothing haunt your heart but sleep.
May you not sense what I don't tell.
May you not dream, or doubt, or weep.
May what my pen this peaceless day
Writes on this page not reach your view
Till its deferred print lets you say
It speaks to someone else than you.

Is poem implying that the poet is going to commit suicide (or has some unsettling feeling inside) but he wishes to tell whom ever he is writing to well and not to worry?
