Candle Poem by Laurence Overmire
Candle
Rating: ★5.0
Half-burnt
On a mantel
Wax dripping from some fond estuary
Of an evening past
Un-lit now
The memories stalled upon the stem
Waiting for a new match
To strike
And light the dark room with
The fire of romance.

If only it were a fly on the wall. I loved it.
