don't blow away

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am

       tired of watching
             the smoke of a

                    blown
      out candle
dance in
winter
     breeze
            cling
   to glass
planes
    desperate to leave
                         wave
                       away a light
leaving charred
wickto kiss dark night.
          all out of your hand
                      I hate the

      wind that

flicks out
    the flame from

crystalline eyes
         that were

              so sure
to endure
         all the hardship of

                      chapped lips.
            We're too grand to be

burnt out.  

We swore to never
be dandelions
              and here we are now:
                     dancing off our wick.

    Regret is a kind of funny thing. It can be very relentless. And there are many levels of regret in that some is forever and unfixable while other regret in only temporary and can be remedied. The nice thing about candles is, when they go out they can be relit. It just takes someone to do it.

    Love you GD Reens, more than you know.

    hmmm... for some reason I see a comedy of errors in this, like you juggling a lit candle... well, I hope you don't give up on romance as a means to finding that "guy for forever"... heaven forbid if you give up and said, "just impregnate me and be done with it..."
