A lonely light lingers
in a room full of darkness.
Sparks ignite,
she shimmers and glows,
she dances, drips down to the floor.
A breeze engulfs her.
She fights off the urge to stop.
She is the entertainment of the night,
the star of the show.
Eyes follow
up
and
down
her every twirl
without her
the world trembles in fear.
One blow,
she dances no more.
a lonely light lingers
in a room
full
of
darkness

This is an excellent poem about candles or candlelight. At least, that’s how I interpret it.

Why, thank you. There is no definitive interpretation, that’s what makes poetry, well poetry!

I like how this may or may not be a metaphor…in my mind, it is. That’s just how I think…but keep ’em guessing! ;0)
