Single Flame

Single Flame

Single flame flickers
No real warmth given
Illumination is minimal

This single spark of light evokes emotions
A finishing touch to a possible amorous night
A source of comfort in a pitch black room
A prop to heighten fears
Giving silhouette to an imaginary fiend

This rather, seemingly benign incandescent flame
Wraps itself around anything within its radius
Sparking our fascination
Whilst fuelling our imagination
