Oil Saucer

a poem by Lakshminarayana K

The timeless scoop of culture free
Lighten the earth dark and me;
The lake of oil and great delight
My urn of eternal hopes all bright.

An ocean of light flaming aright
The womb of wicks of the might;
Entomb darkness, haunting fear
You are my heart of glittering tear.

What mortal brain found you dear?
What tireless hand brought you here?
