Flame
If only there's a flame that lights the wayย
Along the darkened tracks that weave through time,ย
Those twisted, rocky paths that often slay
The wistful thoughts within a lover's mind.
This flame, that flickers true and oh so bright,
Is found within a sparkle of the eye
And only such a clear and loving light
Will show the path (though other sparks may try).
Although your way may be quite clearly set,
Be wary of the demons that abound
In shadows where your dreams cannot be met.
And when your path is not so easy found,
Keep me in your heart each and every day
And I will be the flame that lights your way.

Awww... Marion, thank you sooo much! You are very kind and I am happy that you like the poem.ย You know, I spend so much time with my nose buried in an old book of poetry that I think it may have rubbed off on me... I should really read a lot more modern stuff. Seriously, I do need to do that. Thank you again for your kind words ๐ x
No....don't do that!!! I meant this particular work that's all. You write beautifully in all kinds of styles Tina...don't change a thing!! So sorry for late reply love...๐

Tina I believe Marion has beaten me to the poetry punch in what I wanted to say and chime.
So will simply add by saying thank you for your wondrous sonnet and your choice of image of a simple black and white candle aflame simply adds to your poetically precise and beautifully pure words.x.ย

Putting on the brave face, under a mask. Like a cunning fox.ย
Confused why.ย
