Like a Candle in the Dark - a Poem

This poem was dug out from my old compilations. I was younger then when I wrote this. The poem of Mhatter99 "Lonely Tears By Candlelight" inspired me to look for my "candle" poem.

"Like a Candle in the Dark"

Catch my tears, unrestrained, loosely falling

My flame once bright, now is rapidly fading

My innocence is nothing but full of pain

Once lustre and smooth, what am I to gain?

The hot spot and where it’s passion blue

Once when love was pure scarlet and true

Then night swallows my cries in the dark

Drowning in silence, my only light embark.

Alone, I sit alone, my spark glitters spread

My scent fills the room like petals on the bed

Sail my love, safely sail back to me tonight

The ship’s lighted lamp will be a beautiful sight.

The end is nearing weakening my strength

The flicker of heartbeat lessens by tenth

When the moon hides and yet you’re not here

My love it’s alright, the thought of you diminishes fear.

The shadows dance about while I wait still

Dripping tears kept my feet on the windowsill

Then, I see a lamp pass through the mist

From a hazy distance, a kiss flew; I felt kissed.

You’ve proven then that your love is amazing

You’ll find me not just glowing, but a’blazing

My fire have kept its tender promise, not lies

The radiance in my blue eyes is no disguise.

Come sweet love, turn my tears into golden syrup

My warmth, my burning desire has not given up

Light up my fire enough to touch your face

I longed for your truelove, your loving embrace.
