Candelabra Where once brigades of light did light, The darkest times of darkest night, Teardrop candles, remain abreast, In dust, the candelabra rest. Where light and music made a ball And phantoms danced upon the wall, And where whispers behind a fan, Gave mention of a courtesan. Where dreams gave birth to fantasy, Desires to sensibility, A world of boldness, care and dare, A time of time beyond compare. In dust, the candelabras rest, Each teardropped candle, cold abreast. Time's once sweet morrow, dried e'er more: I rise in sorrow, close the door. |

Ah Seymore...how could I forget this one? It inspired a poem from me as I recall: The Forgotten Candelabra Wherein the candelabra rests Once bright, now marred by rust The door shut tight, the room sealed up Left to gather dust The candles long have been put out The dreams have faded too Where once we danced are memories Left of me and you The ghosts of us, they haunt the room Where time and space reside And though I stand outside the door My heart was left inside Simply lovely, my friend and one of my favorites of all times of yours To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |
