I'm A Candle

In the darkest hour of the night,
I sit alone in candlelight.
Staring at the wax dripping down,
I look at the candles tear-dropped crown.
An inanimate object to somea kindred spirit to me
I feel as if my flame will soon flee.
My wax is down to a tiny stump;
Time will turn me into a lifeless lump.
So much do while the flame lingers;
Will life escape between my fingers?
The darkest minute of the darkest hour
I feel the candles magic powers.

There is something magical and mysterious about a flickering light that can cast shadows. The imagery is very well done and creates the mood. Great job!

It really is a joy to read your work, the imagery just leaps out of the page and hits you so powerfully between the eyes.
When you read a poem and then re-read it straightaway, that's proof of its brilliance.
Thanks for sharing
