A Paper on Fire


A Paper on Fire
Copyright © SHRAVANI MUKHERJEE

The golden hue of promises that gleams and shines
The heat the fire, once the warmth and strength
Destroys and kills, and brings down to the knees
Turns the whites from burnt brown to dusts of ashes grey
No life can stand when it breathes, chokes in neck deep
Whipped by its lashes, no rights no choices no freedom 
The smoke, the cloud of darkness envelopes
Engulfs all that remains of pain and all the feels built on lies
The death is not a salvation, but an escape into another uncertain realm of more lies??
