The candle burns at both ends Two flames flickering Racing to embrace each other Slowly melting away to nothing Black wisps of smoke rise up Twin ghostly columns paired in despair Scribing words in stains of black upon the ceiling cryptic, legible only to me Love is choking me Taking all the oxygen It feeds and burns Flames tickle memories Photographs curl black on edges Ashes crumble to gray Dreams wisp away And the candle still burns Slowly the flames meet Hesitant to consume each other Then share the last of the wick Snuffing out at last Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart.

A great read......simply great! I loved every word of it!  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
