LIke A Candle : Gothic Poetry

written by Poet : TheVampQueen


It's flame dancing in the moonlight upon the windowsill

Shining beautifully with all it's power

Shining light throughout that dark place

A message of hope, perhaps?

Yes! Happiness at last!

 

But after a while, the candle starts to lose strength little at a time

Then the wax starts to drip

Oozing down farther and farther...

Almost as if it knows my own sadness

Only, it can't sob

However, it's still dripping, diminishing, fading

A quiet mourner, like me

 

I see smoke and haziness more than flame now..!

More than, my happiness...

 

A sudden spark

A flicker; it's trying to go on

A brief sway

Smoke... again

And then darkness once more
