burning candle weeps
as romance wanes from deceit
flickering flame dies ~

Chris, you do have a natural talent for these.  A lot of expression is so very few words.

the candle has melted
not a shred remains
the romance never was

burning candle weeps
as romance wanes from deceit
flickering flame dies ~

Flames flicker and wind blown stream
Darkness surrounds
But the thrill of freedom
The horns of hunting
The leather of the chase

Pass unheard, unseen
In a galloping night of emotions
To continue
Until Dawn

Dawn breaks
Sun gently shows a dirty window

And we live again

Thank you for your words
Inspirational

Love Dave

You waxed romantic very nicely here Chris

Or should I say the cessation of such...


The candle weeps
The torch we keep
To guide a love
Once held so deep


Loved  This!

So dark, this long night,
made blacker by gathered clouds
in a moonless sky-
the candle flame flickers down.
Will it last till dawn arrives?

Feeling inspired by you rterse and poignant verse.....~P

(big angel hugs) Oh Chris, this is so very sadly heartfelt, sweet friend, I send angel hugs to all who feel this deceit and wish them joy to rejuvenate them and re-ignite the spark, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
