Candle Lit

Candle lit
In minds eye
Where shadows play
With memories
Of words
Touches
Tears
Bruises
Kisses
Long and tender
And some
Harsh and gripping

Candle burns
Deeper shadows
Arrive like scents
Gone too fast
Before they are
Recognized
Was it lavender
Or cologne?
Was it a summer’s day
Or a fall night
Was it real
Had to be
I still feel it
Still bear the mark
Covered now
In ink

Candle out
Mind
enveloped in dark
Comforting again
All is
as it was
Should be
Buried
for another day
Another
Candle

The presence of shadows before a lit candle is an excellent metaphor...controling one's thoughts and feelings.
Enjoyed this write.
