By Candlelight

Shadows of contempt spark the walls, 
In which eternity calls, 
Each billowing flick emanates towards the pall 
Of you – I feel enthralled.  

Sweet intrusion I feel it, covered like a shawl
Innocent sparks devoured to see me fall
As every beat sees you closer - I stall
Yet this only makes you dearer to all. 

Candle light putter brakes you, turns me tall 
With this I shall let resistance be my down fall.

"Go not gentle into the night..." I like your poem! Your poem reminds me of how much life will always resist death. The fact that there is no life with out death, light with out darkness, is a constant reminder the older one gets or the more death we daily see.
