Candles stand
Tall
Until its
Wax burns out
Of whack
How often does
It come to this?
You wanted
A friend,
And I wanted
A commitment.
Our relationship did not
Work out…
The scent of
A candle
Is the
Scent of
A women
Makes
When
She makes
Love
You cannot
Base
A relationship
On sex
A women
Wants to be told
She is loved
Yearns to be held
Getting acquainted
Told she is needed
And promise you will
Always
Be
There
Until
Your
Love
Dies
 

A
Candle light
Flickers light
Until
It rains
It snows
Or in the wind
Then it will
Cease to burn
Again
I
Cared
For you
I was
Involved
With you
I did all
I could
For you
While you
Avoided my
Love
Shut me out
Left me
Abandoned
Me
And I was
No longer
Needed…
If you
Took the time
Away from a fire
To burn
A candle
Would only
Be
Cold wax…
You approached
Me with pants
Sagging
Your hand
To your
Crouch
With a wacky Mack rap
“Yo B-----“
Why do you
Disrespect
Me?
Even
A candle
Light
Fades
In
The
Dark
You
Don’t love
Me
You
Don’t want
Me
You
Don’t need
Me
Why are
You
With me?
If you
Took away the fire
A candle would be
Cold
Wax
If I meant
Everything in the world
To you, why
Am I alone
In this
Relationship?
 

Do you disagree
With what I say
What I try to tell you
Or what you want
Me to say?
There are
Two sides
In this
Relationship…
The candle burns…for so long
Until …. It cannot burn
Anymore…
The phone rang
I picked up
Silence, so I hung up
Afraid to talk to you
The phone rang once
I picked up
You said hello
I did not care to respond
I could feel you breathing
I wish you were here
But you are not.
The phone rang
I listened to every word you had to say
It was great to hear your voice again
I hope this time we can be more than friends
The fire
Is the light
Of my
Desire…
I read every word in your letter
I read each word with sentimental value
Until tears formed from the corner of my eyes
And the light blew out….
Then the light came alive…
Every once in a while
I have to come out of the heat,
When the fire gets hot
Afraid the light will
Come to an end…
When I
Think of you
To hold you
In my arms,
You touched me
Sensually
I fell in love….
I wanted to
Make love;
But
All I had were
My fantasies…
The fire is too hot
To touch,
So I let it burn
Until all the
Fire runs
Out…
I
Burned
All
Your
Letters, because,
I was too ashamed
Of letting
Go
And risk
The thought of
Losing you…
A
Candle
Light
Without
Wax
Is just
A
String…
I could have met you half way, if only you cared enough for me
To show me you meant what you said when you told me
You loved me…
The candle light flickers,
Against the wind
The light inhales the air,
So that the light shines brightly.
The candle wick burns
Against the wax
A line of infinity
Within
Lover
There is
Life
In the flame
Of
A fire,
That burns
With every
Man’s
desire
