The Flame and You

I was inspired to write this one day when I was sitting in my room listening to Andy mckee. You should look him up!

I watch the flame of the candle.

Flickering in the night.

Watching the flame bobbing up and down.

Like it''s trying to stay lit.

It's like the love I have in my heart.

The love trying to stay.

Not going out.

Just like the flame.

In my mind so many thoughts flow freely.

Thinking of you.

The way you look, talk... everything.

My love for you is so strong.

But how do I know what I'm doing is right?

I lay here in bed dreaming and wishing you were here.

Holding me in your arms.

To feel the security that I once had with you.

Knowing that when the morning came.

That you would be there.

But they are only thoughts.

Not reality.

Like I'd hope it would be.

I say that I trust you.

But you say you're dangerious.

Good thing I like danger.

I guess.

We are only at the begging of our journey.

Only walking the first steps.

Still not sure what we are getting into.

So I lay here.

thinking about you.

While I stare at the flame.

The flame becoming the burning of my heart.

Once again Im there. Youre poems put me there, in the place where youre describing, like a novel. You create an atmosphere, a physical place. So that while Im reading I have imagery of what is going on in the person's life, but its still a poem, so I get the energy and words and wit of verse, but also take with me something likened to a movie. Its shakespeare. Congratulations.

I love the metaphor of the flame as the love in your heart. A very neat use of symbolism. Very strong. Nice piece here.
