Avni- the ever-glowing flame

The breath of her longing and fear lingers
The green walls of her home weep - after
Her residence turned a mouth of a dragon.
She wasn't allowed to live or die naturally
Her enemies want her as a symbol of pride
Her glowing skin as a showpiece of victory
But... she needs just her home, her habitat, and kids.

She was the mother of two young bright children,
Full of love and play, the home roared in happiness
A day came when she metamorphosed into a destroying fire
The anticipated threat, her motherly instinct blossomed
Eyes transformed every trespasser into a monster
She killed every intruder eavesdropping her parenting silence
Labeled the mad mother, the man-eater, she was murdered
The murderer becomes a hero and she a villain, not victim

In a world of wolves who know not a mother's love
In a world of wolves who knows not to pacify a defending mother
In a world of wolves where the kids are not protected
How could she survive even if she was a tiger?

She just merged to her funeral pyre to keep glowing
Hoping to find a better home for her descendants.
