[hometext] => I wrote this poem for a couple of my friends, who had been there for me through such a horrific time lately, but are now, themselves, in a dark place of their own. it is rather abstract, Please comment.
[bodytext] => Your little flame lights my dark corner, While I push against the icy walls, Plaster rubbing my skin as it blisters, In your light, my fear is that of stone, Cold. Absent. Your orange dance is tantalising, I want to burn, but you never let me, My empty warmth cup is filled slightly, By your encouraging presence. I watch you for hours, All mind plagues die away, By your light, the wall fades, Showing the unseen. A much lighter hallway, A passage unused, You depart, I follow. I wander into sunshine, The master of light, The warmth of a million you, But, my little flame, You showed me the way. Oh, little flame, A smoky line replaced you, One small dot of orange warmth remains, Pulsing in the breath of the last, Struggling to sustain, Then gone. I walked with you, little flame, Along a path unseen, In a never-ending night In the last of your time, You were there. I will sacrifice the sun, Enclose it in a cup, Shrink it to mere fire, Compromise the day, So you can be a little flame again.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
