Wax



WAX

I am
Melting down,
Every second,
Every moment,
Without
Any light and flame!
Just leaving smoke!
Un burnt gases!
Spoiling lungs n breath,
Going self and taking others
Towards the death!
I am a total dearth
On this earth!
A candle!
A foot less sandal!
Alas!
Some one
Could lit my fire!
I become a flame!
Spread some light!
Some glitter,
Some sweet,
Some bitter,
Then melt down!
To the soil, the dust,
And return to the crust,
From where
I was born first!
I return abode!
On lightened road!
And my soul
Returning
After hitting the goal….
