Cold Smoulder

Cold Smoulder

A Poem by Archishman Rick

King of the fire nation,
Entrapped in thick layers of ice,
Was it just scarce conviction,
Or was his bright flame too nice.

Wrestling off the big boulder,
Throwing away the stern stone,
Fire under cold smoulder,
Could be given space to smoke.

Rich burning scent would arise,
Nostalgic sense feeding hope,
Black smoke awaiting sunrise,
White clouds to expand its scope.

And thus you follow your trail,
Of metaphors in the life,
To know what can care or ail,
Foundation set to beat strife.

It only takes a spark. You know when I read your lines Springsteen came to mind. Dancing in the dark. You can't start a fire without a spark. Absolutely love that song. I got many visuals from these words. Smoke rising gave me Native Indians. The metaphor of using fire can conjure up many scenarios of both love and hate. Thank you for sharing and for allowing my mind to drift with the smoke.
