Holding Torch
I'll loose my strength and all-- through these tearsthat do not even fall.
I never had thought –some one by the way would become,
My reason of happiness and composure.
In unknown zone of strangers, he lives,
Probably known to my state----stays stiff.
I'm simply fed-up of this love,
that has just imprisoned me in a narrow street,
That's dark and closed to its end,
Having no way out to him.
Just in mind the memories float,
Never let me do my work and never let go my hope.
My words, then how can I leave you?
My identity and solace, my pool is you.
I know the easier way to reach him,
Nevertheless, integrity holds some dogmas too
As why shall my being be treated so sparingly?
Where it had always stood in the special's queue.
