Notes About The Poem

Lightening the Candle From Both Ends

I have long lost you 
In the wilderness of space,
My love for you 
Like the flame of a candle
Was snuffed so long ago 
By a light spatial breeze,
Forgotten and forsaken easily 
Like a blaze of a blistering nova,
Evaporated like a snowflake 
That fell in the angry sea.
 
I never tasted, 
What you termed, 
A tempestuous love,
Nor did you ever provoke 
The dream of dreams.
 
I've grown angelic wings now, 
Glide amongst the stars
Search for my own 
Brand of rhapsodic happiness 
I may find desire and ecstasy, 
Or perish in the attempt,
I am prepared to take the risk 
Can I light the candle again?
