Moth To A Lit Candle Poem by Reshma Ramesh
Moth To A Lit Candle
In the palanquin of Illusions
Humble Love passed by,
Holding the lantern the Four
Bearers, the four brothers,
Trust, Tears, Betrayal and Sorrow
Stepped softly on the grass
Green like the parrot's feather
With envy for the daughter of beauty
Who sat in the lap of Astrid,
Hair in plaits, tied with gold ribbons,
She gazed intently at the sky blue,
Blue like her lips cold, in a rush
She lifts her silver gown
Dropped her jeweled crown
She sailed away from the world
Towards the shore, shore of love,
Paddled with rapid strokes
Red her hands she stopped
The four brothers, Trust,
Joy, Compassion and Devotion
Four bearers of palanquin,
She seeks to be Love's love
With nothing but a promise
Of a moth to a lit candle
(Sequel to the poem 'A MOTH’S PROMISE' by poet jathin aka jesuzz)
I enjoyed this poem...... especially the line 'Humble Love passed by', Nice piece of work......... do keep it up.......... thanx for sharing........ Really I am lured........lolzzzzzzzzzz
and so you still suprise me with yet another exciting piece of poetry....if i were a painter i would paint a mural of your poem......because you give excellent imagery terrific job Reshma Ramesh i loved this piece
Great Imagery here. A Great poem. Had ta give a ten rating here. God bless all poets alive or dead-MJG.
A beautiful poetic representation...Symbolic theme indeed. a 10/10.
Wonderfully written... the imagery played much of its meaning. This is a poetic morph, I should say.
Each poem I read of yours is amazing. Filled with imagination. Loved it
Your pen has embroidered a rich fairy tale on the canvas of the reader's mind. Lovely offering. Kind regards, Sandra

Very enjoyable read with a lot of immagery and meanings. A good story poem. I like the ending and comparison to the moth to a lit candle. The right title for this poem.
