Candle The Poem Tonight, I need a softer light, a softer night, a different kind of care.. I need an old fashioned thing, simple comfort to wrap me in; candle light so I may hide, in softer shadows, I need the soothe, the gentle flame, for eyes that burn, eyes that prickle.. though I refuse them. Tonight I need to hide, the dark encroaches, and I fear this dreadful ache.. I need the steady flicker, the slow burn wick, to mesmerise, to keep the night away.. hold back this hollow feeling, this bereft.. heavy in my bones. Tonight I am alone so I light a candle, to assuage, this awful ache.. I am quiet, alone.. with a flame that gutters...!!! hugsmiley~~~ Have A Nice Day ~~~ hugsmiley
