Fire Poem by Swatimalya Chattopadhyay
Fire
I am mesmerized by your charm and beauty
The orange innocuous appearance reveals soft and silky
It draws me closer and I feel like relishing gleefully
Your touch, embrace and vicinity.
But alas! a mere closeness
Makes me feel how cruel you are
The signs of your cruelty
Are left in the form of a blister.
If your wrath is not pacified in time
You destroy mankind in no time
Adding charred masses to the garbage
Rendering sheltered people homeless
Leaving countless mothers childless
And innumerable children motherless.
Can't you retain your beauty
Without endangering life?
Can't you restrict your chasteness
Only to sanctify our minds?
We pray that you illuminate the path
When it is plunged into darkness
You warm the street-dwellers
When the biting cold makes them helpless.
Please show us the beacon
When we are drifted in the sea
But never ever grab any life
To offer it to the hands of destiny.

Yeah...fire does it …fireworks ‘eye-candy’…when used…but when misused turns into ‘Eye blister’… It is one of five Holy Primordial Elements of everything…and does all what you’ve appealed for…but it is like ‘handle with care’…do we do that Ma’am…? Its said a completely bad thing as rare as completely good thing…so virtuality of goodness and evilness are there in every thing…here it like a chant euphonic…and conceived nicely… Well this fire may be symbolized our ‘fire in mind’ which is more dangerous that this fire just you portrayed as happened two world wars… and still happening [historic days just to mention there are many more examples in mythology &c] Ms. Nivedita UK 10/10
