Candle-Light
night after night I sit up and cry
knowing not the goal of my life
night after night the pleasure surprise
knowing not the extent,barrier of my life
night after night I watch the candle dies
drawing its last breath of the flickering
white life
night after night Arti cries
knowing not the end of the pathways of life
night after night the Sun rises,the Moon
smiles
knowing not the extinctions of butterflies
night after night the vineyards multiply
giving rise to red,yellow,white wine
knowing not the temptations of Helen,
Cleopatra-eyes
night after night the nightingales cry
knowing not the despair of the tongue-less
brides
