Extinguished Flame

When I think I’d write,

I try to capture a certain beauty in a web of hopelessness.

But, when I really write,

Things go other way round:

I always try to capture hopelessness in a web of beauty.

My love is an extinguished flame,

Even the flow of dying ember is not there,

Even the ache of unrequited love is gone,

I wanted someone, & failed to win her.

Perhaps, I’m a silent warrior on my side

Perhaps, that’s why the days gone by had left no ache.
