A thousand tea lights spread
Across a table,
Glimmering in their reflection
A thousand stars,
Across the wine bottle.
Reflection, as my redemption,
A thousand teas lights
For a thousand years
Added to eternity
That I spend without you.
Reach out and touch the flame,
It burns as my passion does,
A single entity amongst
A sea of single entities,
Dancing and flickering.
Of sorrows and madness,
Of the forgotten and lost
Praying to a dark moon
On cold starless nights,
Calling out for you.
Elegance and grace remembered
And warmth as well
Like a stomach full of fine
Great wine, the smell
Of fruit; and remembrance.
Sweetness in taste, turns
Bitter and harsh
My wine has become
My vinegar, my candles
Have all gone out.
Into the darkness I shall step,
Into the cold I will venture,
Into the abyss I shall hold
Of memories of you,
My Love, My Lost.

LeBrozover 18 years agoWelcome to the poetry side of Lit.
This first write is quite well honed;
A small suggestion you might consider
To change the words to make the reader feel the loss:
Reflection, as my redemption,
A thousand tea lights
For a thousand years
Add to an eternity
Spent without you.
Instead of:
Reflection, as my redemption,
A thousand teas lights
For a thousand years
Added to eternity
That I spend without you.
This gives it a more universal appeal - it's not just him but anyone would feel the loss of being without her.
