In the darkness you sit and cry
for dawn’s arrow to pierce the sky,
but never strike the flint on steel
to flame the tinder to reveal
a man hidden in midnight blue,
and his hands which reach out for you.
There is true word in all my verse
for a blessing to end the curse.
As well in the dark I may sit,
but I know how your candle's lit.
A candle bright is burning fast,
the night is long but will it last?
The answer sought always depends
on  candles burning from both ends.

~ So mote it be!

I've been known to burn the candle at both ends, myself! It doesn't last as long ~ but it sure burns brightly!

Love & Candle Light,

The truth burned brightly here, and I found myself seeking enlightenment.  The highest compliment one could pay, is the re-read.
Thanks for sharing this.

The candle burns,
in the window bright,
leading you home,
through darkened night,

Oh man of midnight blue,
end the curse of heart,
only one flame burns true,
the ending is just the start....

Wow, I am sure glad that I did not miss this prime piece.  It made me think of many nights that I, too, have burned the candle at both ends.

Good writing poet.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
