The Last Breaths Poem by Akhtar Jawad

So you came at last,
The candle's flame,
In the winds of time,
Vibrated with all her might,
To survive for a moment,
To have a look at you,
And to kiss your lips,
But the dry tongue,
And the deceptive breaths,
Kept the candle silent,
The faithful eyes,
Did their best,
You read the blue stars,
Came close to the candle,
The candle smiled,
And the threads were broken,
The candle extinguished with years old thirst,
You felt the heat could not burn your lips,
The fumes dispersed and disappeared.
