An Unbeaten Defeat

I could not enjoy the horrid moments

of the morning

in the engrossing slowness of the night,

couldn't make the flower fly like a bird

couldn't be a bird in the flower's eyes.

 

So what if I get a zero !

Just before and after

a sign of is equal to

there was faith and history

in which way, which arguments or facts

I could have proved this

tell me please!

 Yes , I could have put

a question mark there

but is there not a constitution of life?

 

I had to build a bridge of fearlessness

on the bubbles of my fearing breaths

but every circle of every bubble

was built in the elements of time,

and I had preserved there

my world, my life, and my treasure.

 

Tell me to touch a moment of ecstasy 

how much cowardliness

I could have overcome!

So I deserve only a zero.

With this zero 

as my reward

I shall begin myself a new.
