FlamesA Poem by NarmadaA woman and a flame. How alike they are. Kindling the energy from within. They go off to rise again the next morning.She sways and sways more Putting on a show. For those looking Her gaze fixed, Leaving those hapless eyes transfixed Curtailing a rage within Blazing heat, Wearing out Caressing warmth They look up to her A guide, the shining light She burns bright For herself, alone For herself alone. Her wick alters Between wide and narrow Doubt her flicker For she shall cast her shadow Spot her at her brightest Go shield her She is at her weakest, Now, than ever. A story resides In residues of every flame, Every femme Tomorrow, another sun. Another day. © 2017 NarmadaAuthor's Note
