A Candles Sputter I snuffed a bright of candlelight Too quick the sputter of the wick Distorted shadows walked my night With dragon breath that made me sick It did a dance of wind blown flame Shot fireflies of winking leer I felt no wind but felt the same Like stabs of queer and stabs of fear It played upon my alter ego Brought to life disturbing thought Seemed no help or amigo I could not drink its wine of port I’ve never snuffed a candles light But right or wrong the light is gone It brought no treasures to my sight I’ll use another’s liaison May your candles stay a steady bright? And offer you a steady light. |

Seymour~ 'I’ve never snuffed a candles light But right or wrong the light is gone' I'm not sure why this thought brings tears to my eyes ... but it does~ Well ... maybe I do know~ Poignant penning, my friend~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Dear Seymour, your nights may be agitated, but they DO bring always great sharings in the morning! I am a candle fan ....sometimes we leave them lit during the night (safely protected!!) and I am always caught in the play of light and shadows on the ceiling ... YOU are BRIGHT! Love, Margherita  |
