Candle

Ostrich on Jun 2, 2011

Light brings knowledge…but sometimes that knowledge is best left unknown.

Candle burning bright

a flame … flickering

in the dark of night.

Shadows dancing on the wall

Rising – Rising – Fall

eyes hypnotized stare enthralled.

Images beckon me

to a world of dreams

nothing is what it seems

distorted figures

helpless … COLD

drawing forth fears untold

both new and old.

Candle burning bright

this flame of molten white

snuffed out * * POOF * *

ignite no more

I implore

leave me as I was before

within my world of darkness.
