Red..!


[It is quite strange to learn
That after such a long time
My soul happens to flicker
Come to life as if it were
A candle being lit

The scent of melted wax
Calming my mind and senses
The shadows dancing across the walls
The candle, the room’s only light

Mesmerised by the candle
Watching the wax drip
Creating patterns
Feeling its heat across
My cold fingers

Hearing the thunder in the next room
Breaking the peacefulness
The candle flickering violently
As a freakish gust snuffs it out
Sitting alone in the darkness
Wondering whether if fate
Can play the same rhythm once more]
