Few days pass, we face off like before; <br />But I hold the shield and he-the sword. <br /> <br />He proves me no warmth of a flame; <br />I show him black burns in my veins. <br /> <br />He proves me no blue burning light; <br />I show him the white hairs I obtained; <br /> <br />He proves me no wax from the cierge; <br />I show him my finger's white layers. <br /> <br />He proves me no matches in sight; <br />I show him my ash flushing face. <br /> <br />He enters me for the truth I contain; <br />I enter him for the truth he pertains. <br /> <br />Few days pass, we face off like before; <br />But he holds the shield and I- the sword. <br /> <br />I prove him no warmth of a flame; <br />He shows me black burns in his veins. <br /> <br />I prove him no blue burning light; <br />He shows he the white hairs he obtained. <br /> <br />I prove him no wax from the cierge; <br />He shows me his finger's white layers. <br /> <br />I prove him no matches in sight; <br />He shows me his ash flushing face. <br /> <br />I enter him for the truth he contains; <br />He enters me for the truth I pertain. <br /> <br />Few days pass, we face off like before; <br />But I hold the shield and he-the sword. <br /> <br />He proves me no warmth of a flame; <br />I show him black burns in my veins...<br /><br />Pradeep Dhavakumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-war-within-2/
