I've held torches and carried flames for loves I've known and those loves I'd never know .......fires that smolder in my soul eternal infernos that keep warm a quiet want .........sultry ache smoky need......... yet all of them combined are not worth the candle I burn for you.......... ~SEA~ [This message has been edited by SEA (edited 07-24-2001).] |

wonderful, not sad at all like you had thought you'd go...this is lovely and romantic, superb treatment of the phrase...such a positive focus I'm so thrilled you tried this one, SEA, you have so turned around its negative connotation BRAVO indeed!!!  |

Ron~ thank you so much Janet~ thank you Seymour~ you know I love you   thank you VAS~ yeah, I was feeling it so sad, I still might find it that way.....but when I sat down to write, this is what came, and I liked the positive feel of it thank you for the phrase and challenge.....I'm happy you liked this ~SEA "Four be the things I'd been better without: Love, curiosity, freckles and doubt." |

What a cool use of imagery. Very well done. I am so jealous, this was a good idea and i loved the ending lines "yet all of them combined are not worth the candle I burn for you.........." In silent admiration, me |

Wow - simple words, yet so stirring, I relate so much to your verse. Lately, I get lost in your poetry and that's a compliment Melissa~ |
