Candle Flame Poems - Poems about Candle Flame

The Candle Trusted The Flame
The candle trusted the flame, So warm, so near, so bright. It leaned into the dance of fire, Believing it was light. But love that flickers, fierce and fast, Can scorch what seeks to stay. Now wax runs down like falling tears, The flame still sways, while the candle melts away. Soon the flame too will burn out, For after we consume others, So are we...

The last dance
Night. Walk in, light the candle, watch as the flame dances across the wall. Finally, it feels okay. Kneel by the side, hopefully by the side of the one who watches. Tell me that, that it will be alright …Or take me. The dancing ember looks me in the eye. He nods. What is it that you want,...

I watch a candle flame, Steadily burning in my room, In the darkened room, Its shadows cast a spell of despair. In a lighted room, Stare into the steady flame, Connect your mind with deep consciousness, Spread your wisdom as candle flame spreads its light. Sometimes, the flame flickers, Like hesitations in our mind,...

each candle contains a Flame life abounds within its Light Fire when these Flames unite and banishing the darkness warm comfort flows from within drives away the biting cold the wind of division blows extinguishes one candle where once each formed The Fire individuals, yet one this missing Light makes all less less Light, less warmth, comfortless tears of grief fall on the wicks Flames sputter and...

I am but a little candle Shining dimly in the night. Casting shadows in the darkness With my frail and feeble light. But despair won’t overwhelm me For as small as I might be My wee flame is ever present For another soul to see. There are torches all around me Giving off much light and heat. And I fear I pale in contrast Quite unable...

Premium Member Yesterday's Flame
Yesterday's Flame The candle’s flame still dances with the breeze and casts her playful shadows on the wall that pique imaginations with a tease and bring back ancient memories that please, and yet her flame’s not bright as I recall. This once tall, slender beauty was quite chic, ...

Premium Member Candle Lit Grave
A candle is lit in a small dark cave, Upon these walls shadows in EDM rave, Flickering flame kiss cool, damp ambience, Small Sparks fly up igniting silhouette. Laughter, sinful pleasure in danger grave, Misplaced desires, in handcuffs and enslave, Whispers deafening, instantaneous, Extorted dancers to owe reaper’s grim debt. These foolish shadows thinking they are brave, Little is known in darkness as a...

Premium Member Trick Candle Flame
You turned me into a trick candle flame, when it flickered you lit a spark; Making me believe again was your aim; When I needed it you gave me acclaim; a soft glow in the midst of the stark; You turned me into a trick candle flame; Embracing everything that wasn’t tame never leaving me...

The Solitude of the Candle David J Walker The sweet smell of spiced paraffin and flame the solitude of darkness I am the name I am the sound of the moniker and bound To hold the meaninglessness of a darkness in a Darkened frame In a dark space In a dark place Just beyond The Candles claim And will be remembered So long...

Premium Member Candle Flame Dance
The flame dances on a breeze; Candlelight dances on the walls. Amazing shadows will be seen; Wherever those flames may fall. Such magical creatures are candle flames; Mesmerizing beings. Up there on my Mantle, The dancers play out scenes. They dance to their own stories; Amazing mysteries. No choreographers paint such glories; The flames, quite creative, be. Candle flame or burning fire; They never fail to inspire. ...

Candle Flame
The drop of fire stealthily burns A tender angel descended into darkness Spirit raised by my own hand It grasps into the viscous air Clinging, to rise, struggle, survive, Calmly watching I realise I created torment The flame needed me to live I needed it to feel safe Then I wonder who's need is greater The creature of the creator? -MXC...

Candle Flame
The fire on my face burns and burns and burns like the beacon in an ancient lighthouse just to see you look at me, I hide behind the person in front of me, I know that you were looking, I've seen you do it before, but you've never seen me look back, the fire, it burns so pleasantly, like a small, ginseng...
