The Incense Stick Poem by Plabita Bhaskar

The Incense Stick

Rating: 5.0


Burning slow, I'm an incense stick,
My vestige, mere a wisp of smoke.
The flame swallows me low and slow,
Draping me down, to the pit of my soul.


My ashes heap and corpse lay low,
the cologne mixed in air.
If burning be my redemption, my Lord!
So be it so...
