The Candle Breaks

The stone has no
gender. Only meltdown will wash
its body. Who was insidious of you?

Between the patriarch and
catnip, lynx eyes win and the lens
become volatile to explode Himalayas.

What you love has
the sparks. It is awful to sign
black berries on your heart.

Candle an item used in prayer, melts down. This melting and the title suggest that good is endangered. Exploding Himalayas may be a reference to Kargil war.
