All over the tunnel—fire burns

Syed Rumman

All over the tunnel—fire burns: Syed Rumman

All over the tunnel—fire burns!

I tightened my tongue to save
And utter the last few words.

My indigent prayer never reaches the Height; 
I still crawl against the destined faith, 
Lest I see you saying the last few words!

I have been walking with my hammered heart,
And get dissolute seeing my previous abandonment.

But I was beckoned and, entered into the tunnel;
You make me crayon the face of my shattered dream, 
Again and again!

Every time I try—before I say the last few words—
All over the tunnel—fire burns!
