Poem: Candles and Candies
Jan 4, 2024
I am tired. Tired of people. I light candles, they want candies. Huh.
Poem: Candles and Candies
A poemless day
Tired and exhausted
A featherlight thought
is the last straw -
People. People.I light a candle.
They want the candy.
Instant gratification.
Higher senses are
now empty attics.The living room
is crowded with -
the candy people.
Nobody wants a candle
Or climb to the attic.People. People.
A featherlight thought
is the last straw -
Tired and exhausted
A poemless day.~Ashok Subramanian © 2023
