Dilemma


Keeping the faith in light
When the fickle candle flame
Is facing a wind fight

Confrontation is a must
Even in the sinister darkness
Whether for love or for lust

Keep up the spirit
Acknowledge the rejection
As it is the writ

Build the space
Leave some room
All for joy, some for gloom

A face off with the impending God
Without a sketch
Arguably the oddest of odd

Eventually,
The candle will light up
The gloomy space
Whether for love or for lust
The face off will be destroying
Not you, but the dilemma
