:: Till The Last ::
Till the last drop trickles
Squeezed to the point of naught
With the drop vanished all hope
Remains of a stone unsought
Till the last wave of warmth
Burnt to black sooty ash
With the smoke perished all desire
A burnt log lies with a deep gash
Till the last ray shines
Caught in a net without a blaze
With the capture lost all freedom
A trapped firefly slips into an empty haze
Till the last grain of strength
Puckered beyond repair
With the dearth disappeared existence
That is plain me simply in despair
