Chance Lost

The
wind
blows, and
I’m a candle
shine, burning
blue, giving out
light, making
things bright,
many things
except
one.

I
shed
tears
being
dispersed.
Gazing into my
 death dance,
sits, someone,
silent, spell-bound;
an unread letter
in front. I may burn
 down, or perhaps be
 blown out, wondering
what will happen
                                     when it’s too dark to read.

  1. i like the content and i think the form is very clever. "someone, silent, spell-bound, is how i so frequently find myself when i look at a candle. the conclusion is spot on.
