This is a slow burn
flame dancing
    a candle
       continues
         though flickering
in soft breeze

This is our love
hearts in slow
        beat
          together
             though waning
in tragic decline

With mere current
of ghostly passage
           flame
             will cease
           love
              will fade

such is the curse
of time
      and
          circumstance.

With a sinking feeling, I was slowly exhaling as I read down the page. When I got to the bottom, I took a sharp breath in---good thing----'cause not only was my face turning blue, my mood was too!

That's powerful writing for sure!

We have no control over these 2 factors that you write of, no matter how hard we fight, or how hard we try!! Enjoyed this completely.....and I will now take some 'time' and read it again!!

I love your piece ... yet I think of time, fleeting though it is, as a gift ... not a curse

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
