☆ – “Passion…” – ☆ Shri Ashish Mulay ☆
I am not young enough
young enough to feel
how the passion kills
and what passion kills
to me passion is not
something that bothers
passion is but what
your existence harbours
passion is not what you show
but what others see in you
like a lamp that doesn’t burn
for the sake of giving light to you
it burns for the sake of itself
only to find another self
in darkness it takes the flight
till it reaches another light
no matter how vast the darkness is
and how alone the lamp is
it burns with all it has
the wick, the body and the oil
be spent like oil
be burnt like wick
be passionate like heat
be that lamp
be that lamp…
