The candle of love
Doth burn
As I yearn for you
By my side  but on
The road I walk it's
unlikely you'd survive.

The candle of love
Doth burn
As I yearn for you near
But on the bridge I walk
That ends like a pier
You would not be able
To handle the fear.

The candle of love
Doth burn
As I yearn for you here
But on the wings I fly
You would surely die.

The candle of love
Doth burn
As I yearn for you
My love
And now i'm coming home
Cause i've shed enough
Blood.

And the candle of love doth burn.


I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson-

Wow.. I really loved this. It's like one of those poems that just slaps you in the face because it speaks directly to you. This part particularly spoke to me:

"The candle of love
Doth burn
As I yearn for you
By my side  but on
The road I walk it's
unlikely you'd survive"

I truly enjoyed reading this.



You know its been a good day when you come home, realize you forgot your key again, and decide to climb through the doggie door instead of complaining

I enjoyed this.  The poem is very creative from a stylistic view point, and very well written.  Nice work.

Hmm..how interesting. Good wording. It's good to see you've mixed two totally different styles of writing into one piece. It gives it uniqueness. Well done.

Look forward to more.
