The fire and the flames...............

by Partha Paul   Sep 14, 2013


The fire never waits
for any consent ;
falls in love
caresses heartily ;
constricts with mighty green arms .

like one huge primitive ancestor
just pounces on a prey
at the first prowler's sight ---------

fed on pampering ghee
the ravenous long tongue
lips up and laps up
the last marrow
of an ill-fated victim !

the gutted remnants
bears the blemish !

the insatiable desire
delights in rings of smoke
spiraling up ..................

the sinister aspect of
omnivorous evil
devours a slab of peace !

who will intercept
the onrush of the diabolical fire
and award a deemed punishment
to this fast blowing fire amidst
all the lands and waters ?
