Burn To Shine
I wish
My intelligence turns to a self-propagating flame
And consume in toto my inauthentic self
I then dazzle like a molten core
And an implied self stands erect on a never reaching farthest shore
I wish it, to burn the rubbish ,
Those are pelted onto me by my denigrators
Also I wish,
The flame of my intelligence excrete
All those craps from me
And burn me to shine.
Life is but a natural opportunity
Where love can brighten the eyes of heart and soul
And makes one to see through the thìck wall of words .
Instead it’s a mind-churning dream.
In this process of self – filtration
I prefer to burn and shine ultimately.
