Varnika has done such a beautiful job with metaphors and emotions in this piece. Enjoy!
Some people are like matchsticks
Starting up with a dazzling light
Before flashing and burning down to nothing
A simmering pile of soot
A has been of a never was
And some
Are like candles
Slowly burning
With a subdued glow
Spreading warmth
Giving light
Melting themselves
For your sake
Yet, we let the dazzle
Blind us to the warmth
Probably why my heart is dank and cold today
Rather than a well lit, cosy abode
Strike a match again, will you?
And light up the wick?
Wow, Thank You so much Susi for sharing this!! It is awesome!!
