Smoldering Sigh Poem by Jay Aguiniga

With gentle, blowing kiss
Depart quickly, relieve your claim.
The Candle wick,
yields to the flame.
Fluttering breeze come with flow,
Fiery cry to your previous glow.
Smoldering sigh;
darkness consumes,
the flame must die…
But within, a single ember thrives.
A mirror of I; struggle and survive.
Carving twilight with a surgical knife,
Once again casting; shadow of life,
Yearning to breathe existence,
Validity to dwell with continuation,
Freed,
from smoldering, smothering cage,
burn beyond, boundaries of own rage.
