    Candle

    Candle
    Dim lit candle shines alone
    Beautiful in its stand against the dark
    Surrounded by cold but still warm inside
    Drops of wax fall down the stick like small tears
    As the small light fights to stay bright
    At the center of the flame, the wick
    The very heart of the light
    Without it there is no burn
    And the flame has no desire to become smoke
    A skeleton of what once was
    The candle wishes not to die
    The candle wishes to embrace the match that lit its flame and started its shine
    That single act of life, Love, kindness, and the bond forged in the heat of the very heart
    Drop of wax, light dim, wick at its end, the candle burned its self out
    The smoke cry’s a tale of what once was Perfect…

    It's a perfect mixture of destruction and gain. like the death of someone but the birth of something new. until the end of the cycle. im not sure if u are talking about love or life but very gud poem.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
