Flames glow with rhythmic fluttering,
casting dark shadows upon my wall.
Paraffin rivers trickle from candles,
spilling in flow that mimics my tears.
My voice whispers, calling your name.
I smother the wicks of waxen pillars.

Paraffin in liquid with heat,
I let a drop of water in it neat,
It sizzled and smoked and paraffin turned solid,
at that particular place,
More of paraffin dropped on solid spot,
and melted it down again,
our interactions are like that,
any human pouring cold water over your zest,
and you turn cold at best,
you look for warmth,
before you catch your next breath.
Listen to poem:
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 lives
The candle's flame
He awoke
to the sound of pouring rain,
the wind whistling
around the windmill tower,
the aroma of homemade toasted bread
and coffee brewing on the paraffin stove…
In a daze, eyelids heavy,
he heard distant voices.
“He breathes like a sparrow.
The time is near.”
A tear fell on his frail hand.
In the shadows
the ferryman patiently waited…
