Candles That Like Wine Poem by Akili Amina

Wine stalks and watch my candle’s faint flicker
Soothe my misery, crest waves its breach point
Death to spouts, dead are bouts high in bicker
Appoint this ending, break bonds at their joint

Wine in all mute silence, warms love’s cold chill
Unclothed, black strap dress lie on wooden floor
Exposed toes kick heels, date mate dressed to kill
Call back dear’s smell, dear’s last kiss at the door

Wine spent, leave candles with love’s sole reject
Jazz notes shriek, squealing, they sweep the ceiling
Sum adds the pain, tone, wine; now a drunk wreck
Tears in fits, blab out speak, talk brings healing

Calm brings real sane, time brings another to pine
Not sure about the fate of Candles that like Wine
