The burning candle…

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.

The age-old adage that "money can't buy happiness" is true, but there's a catch. Money can buy you the things that can make you happy. In other words, having more money can lead to a happier life to some extent. However, it's not necessary to have your own money to be happy.
