As the flame touched the night
   it exploded   like a sparkler
shooting burning cinders through the air
    as if it belonged there
Slowly dissopating into the figure of beauty
   and there she sat    almost angelic
Her brazen hair shimmering
  sending light in every corner of the dark smokey room
   I could feel her
one more drink and i could've heard her breathing
    such vibrance    almost
inebriating on it's own    shivers
    at a smile   and touch   that melts me
into a state of take me away
turning my whole body into a wieghtless
  nothing      
Yearning     for what i've been missing
And the angels sang    as her name reverbed    
   through my head like sweet honey
dripped on my tongue
     I repeated it agin
goosebumps       as she rose so gracefully
  A flower in a garden of weeds
and she glides   nearer    and nearer
until i'm blind
   except to the radiance of her aura
                  and we are one

'One more drink and I could have heard her breathing'   Impressive! I loved this piece. I'm new I just joined yesterday but I've been reading on this site for about a month. I've read some of your other work and this is the best that I've come across. Hope to see more like this.

This poem has great flow and is very well written. You have some good talent there. But I think it could be much more dramatic if you adjusted the structure of it to show the reader where you want them to pause.

This to me was the best line in the entire thing. I do like the rest of it though. Great job
