Poetry

 After many listless evenings

I ran into some fine poetry,

inadvertently, 

and gulped a few shots of it


After a few pages and hours

a speckle of spark 

was warming up 

my intoxicated being, and

I realised a streak of life

still quivering inside of me


As the night breeze caressed

I asked it not to cease 

nor to fear its presence

For it can only gently

stoke the tender spark


It cannot harm the flame

but only move into being

the fire in my hearth

that would keep me 

alight forever
