In the Candles Light

Heat rises as the candles burn
Each one shedding its waxy tears
In the candles light sits a couple
Newly weds of early that day
The two are madly in love 
Haveing dinner pleasent talk of love
Sipping wine, laughing,haveing a good time
but suddenly silence,
What happens next takes a turn for the worst
The shattering of a glass
A blood curdling scream
then silence , nothing but dead silence
In the candles light
The love they shared will last for good
But their lives were taken
Now sorrow over the to lovers has taken hold on all the world

Very compelling, Christian. I can't help but wonder what caused the glass to shatter and the sorrow to ensue. Was it the loss of virginity? I was mesmerized by the story in this poem, vividly describing the sharing of love between newlyweds. The first line really caught my attention. On winter nights, I would light a candle or two in the metal sink on the cabin cruiser I had and the heat rose and made cold nights much warmer. Very nice writing! Love, Carolyn
