Candlelight
The candlelight is dimming
with each passing minute.
Who knows how long until
the wick is gone?
It would only take
a miracle
for the candle
to keep burning,
for the light it gives off
to be seen and
to be fed.
But, unfortunately,
night draws its
breath away
and
the candle is dimming
with each passing minute,
but I don’t want the
wick to be gone.
*****
Blow gently now,
softly—like a kiss.
Feed the fire and flame.
The flame casts itself
away from me.
The flame flickers,
but I cannot gasp—
for I would take away
any air left.
*****
Sitting, waiting
hoping the light remains.
Watching, crying,
praying the light remains.

Have you read "The Treasure I Found", "All I Find", or "Peaceful Storm"? In my opinion, those are my best works so far :P
since I don't get many comments/ratings, feel free to rate and/or comment on at least those three!! I'd really appreciate it! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
