Candle

as she sits on the edge of her bed the candle burns her thoughts drift with the aroma and light smoke one touch from masculine hands could light desire and she would melt into a slow trickle like a candle's edge beneath the heat of red glow to puddles of warmth below her eyes tear in a smokeless room as she sits on her bed alone...the candle burns itself out 8/16/13

Sandra, wow... the imagery's amazing. I like the way you described the candle burning slowly--- outstanding imagery... one of the best poems I've read today.. Besides Jack's haiku... LOL... Sandra, the fading glow, describes a lonely feeling.... lost love... xox...LINDA
