Vigil By Candlelight Can you picture me My heart still yearning Pondering what to pen Solitary candle burning The flickering flame A vigil by candlelight My mind cannot sleep It is the reason I write Tears on paper trails Among pages I wept In this candlelit room Tonight I’ve not slept Melancholy hovered My spirit hangs low Tossing and turning By a candlelight glow A good night sleep It’s so long overdue Candlelight dreams No longer come true On wall and ceiling The shadows dance A pen starts to write Why we lose romance Hope©2002 |

Sometimes it's not the loss of love that keeps us awake but more often it is. Very good write. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Hope, this is so very sad and touching, sweet friend, I too get insomnia sometimes if I miss my Joanna so much and can't help but flood tears yearning for her ever so! (sigh) This is heartfelt, sweet friend, may true love always fill your heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Hope, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Hope I have to agree with you, I believe at night things tend to seem much darker in our emotional states. Very expressive. Hugs to you. |

Wow, nice work. I'm still a relatively new writer and to read this...I'm in such awe! The thoughts and feelings just overflow. It was great. Nice work. It might sound corny or such, but that really inspires me. Yay for you. Laura "I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful." |

Hope, there is so much emotion dripped into this piece. The late night seems to bring out such dark emotion. I hope this is only temporary for you. A wonderful poem though. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Nice words... It reminds me of when i write my poems.. ( i am also writeing a book ) I think of one thing.. And BAM! i start writing then i i try not to think, and then fix my mistakes later.. to me, if you dont think, then you'l say whatever is in your heart, and itle make a better poem. By thats my opinion. I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait. |

Hope, yes, I could picture you perfectly, because you wrote this so perfectly! I like this a great deal. Whether you are feeling all this yourself or not, others surely do or have at some point. A little glimpse into real life and real feelings. Thank you, Warm Regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Hope, This is a very sad write. I understand all to well how our thoughts can take over on a sleepless night. Been having one too many of those lately. I enjoyed this poem, but hope you are feeling happier soon. Dawn |
