Candles On My Cake Poem by Nikunj Sharma
Candles On My Cake
Shining, smiling, cheerful and gay
You stand on my cake
Slowly burning away.
Hey! The candles on my cake
Can you stay put?
Forever with me can you stay?
You continue to burn
But don’t speak
what is that makes you tick
Is it Blazing glowing and smiling wick?
The blazing spirit to symbolize
Depleting strength;
Still spreading light
Melting self, but standing firm
You present life to me
Wrapped firm …
Can I burn like a candle too?
After all I have been, to become YOU
Fire within and fire through
Melting skin, burning soul
spreading light;
My worthy goal…
Bathed in my glow here I stand
On cake of life,
Flame flickering through thick of strives….
Struggling, stifling trying to glow
Ducking at times, taking a bow
Melting cake, underneath
Still spreading light
Till I breathe

This ode to candles is extremely creative. I love how you tell them 'to stay put' and stay with you forever, so the flame is great imagery. The philosophy in the 3rd and 4th stanzas is excellent. 10 love Karin
