    Poem Commentary

    My poem is a metaphor of how we build a new relationship and with the wrong words or movement we loose it all in a brief instant...

    Your eyes in Candel light

    Its dim the natural light is beginning to fade…

    A gentle wind begins to move forth over this day...

    I search for light so that I may find my way to you…

    Fumbling through life’s drawers I touch two candles

    Mine and yours… I light the first one with steady hand

    Watching the flame come alive in its brilliant ember…

    Cobalt blue flame lays the foundation while a vanilla crown

    Rest on top… I strike yet another match as it crackles to life

    I light yours… Slowly it radiates to life… every movement

    Every shape every form, dancing before my eyes. A beautiful

    Moment steeped in a warm glow. Just alluring just wondrous           

    As it burns…Whist they burn along side one another they seem to dance

    In a slow rhythmic movement complementing the other

    Drawing on the energy and heat in a divine unison

     The wind an envious element has now began to build out side

    As the action causes your flame to move quicker and faster

    I close every window and every door so as to not let your

    Flame flicker away…As I move to stop this action, all is in vain

    Alas I am to late… I was not strong enough in my measures to save

    Your light…you are no more than a smoldering memory of how

     Fleeting and beautiful a flame can be…

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
