So I haven't been writting as much as usual so  I am trying something new, there is no thought behind this poem no plaaning, no time4, I sat at my computer and wrote it, please tell me what you think, I'm stuck and trying to find a way out and i could used some suggestions


Blue Candels

I lit a candel yesterday,
In it I saw your eyes,
The fire of your heart,
Melting into disolving memories,

Time came undone with each flicker,
Blue wax  dripped over my fingers,
I stared at the falme for hours,
One burned out --- I lit another,

You always had blue candels,
In your room they glowed,
In the upstairs room they blew out,
Zipped in a black backpack they broke,

My candels all went out,
The wind blew through my window,
On it I heard the words I remember,
"I'll never leave"

My blue candels blew out,
My desk is covered in wax puddles,
The carpet is stained with their color,
The ceilling has gray smoke smudges,

Every night I can't help but light another,
Every night I hear the words,
I can't stop and the wax still drips,
Until you come back with blue candels in silver moonlight
< !signature-->

"I'll build a wall if we can keep them on the other side"---NIN
"There is no always forever, just this"-the cure

Ginners, This is a fabulous piece!
I write most of mine in the fashion you chose here, just sit and let the words come out. You succeeded at channeling your poet and crafting a fine piece.
Enjoyed Much!!  

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..

Ginners,
this is a really good write. I don't know what sort of advice you are wanting, but this poem is fine.
