Incense, smokey, cloying, Headachy... Candles so much sweeter, Light scents that permeate Without overpowering... Flickers elongate, Undulate shadows against Walls, bring them to Life, tall, dark spectors... Candles' little flame Illuminates so well in Opposition With the soft darkness That are wrought of a Tiny, well lit torch... Incense, thick and forceful Gives no light at all... Just that tiny lava-like Red eye.... Not enough to see by, Not enough to delight With bright, dark shadows On the canvas of the wall. ShannonM |

Shannon~ You wrote this so softly ... like shadows dancing in soft flicker~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
