Rekindled Flame

Regrets
                                               True love usurped 
                                           Snuffed out like a candle
                                   Deathbed meeting, rekindled flame
                                 Unrested spirits’ midnight rendezvous
                                  Searching for love once thrown away
                                         Foolish mistakes and pride
                                              Lives spent apart
                                                      Regrets

Jack Horne, 6th September for Nette’s Just Nine Lines contest (picture 1)
