My love for life





 With a few candles light
 I push myself
To defy darkness
Set off for a journey
Bank the words of delight
Collect the stars
Melt my imagination
Into the heart of moon
Uphold the poetry of my life
I know well
My morning starts
Every day with the cracking dictation
Of material demon
No way out
Forced to oblige painfully
Being pushed
To the world of anger and terror
Sickening thoughts
Curl around me daily
But my songs of heart
Dominate my material grief
My love for life
Comes to me every night
With aromatic smiles
To register my victory
Against darkness.
