The burning candle…

By

the burning candle poem by saurabh chawla


Oblivious to you
It may seem
This heat in blue
Makes you gleam

The darkness fades
Slowly into the dawn
Rendering me helpless
Like a chess board’s pawn

I burn, I also cry
To show the way
Till I become dry
From night to day

Struggling the mayhem
I battle the storm
You fail to fathom
In cold, I keep you warm

You light two of them
When one wick can’t handle
Ultimately you will condemn
It’s tough for me, the burning candle…

PS: The color blue as mentioned refers here to the innermost part of the flame.

    It's the best poem who have written till date. I can connect with it, specially with 3rd and 4th verse. Ending is superb. Lage raho...and yes, you changed your template once again. Choose one and keep it for a long time. Many recognize your blog with the template you have, just a suggestion.

I wish this night stayed....

Cold breeze grazing my feet Maybe it's an act so folly But my heart skipped a beat Surrounded by sheer melancholy Your whispers echoing in my ears Its difficult to see with Eyes welling up with tears Heart aching in writhe Winds changed the direction again Waiting for this since quite long No more I can abstain Come let's dance to the song Beneath the open sky Beside you I laid Now don't say bye I wish this night stayed... Check out the poem Just you and I... Image source: here

I Have Waited Enough

By
  Walking away Past the shadows Waiting for my time You suddenly turned up All the times of pleasure Took over the pain Those unforgettable innocent eyes And that cute smile... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night The time when we kissed And stayed together Hand in hand, our love bloomed Oh, I loved every bit of it, I still do! We hit the sidewalk Walking past the insinuations And the implications Only to lose it all... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night...
