With each flickering flame, my years unfold

Tapering down, leaving days of untold

Dripping memories, of past events

Happier times, still I’m not quite content

Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light

The fire, still burning, with no end in sight

Celebrating the day, reaching for more

Wondering what this life has in store

As closer to Halloween, comes the time

Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime

So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate

On this day in October, 2016, twenty-eight

 

In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday.  I am taking the day to relax and enjoy.  I’ll be sure to save you some cake  🙂

A rose reflects, time passes by

Seconds tick, with no reason why

Midnight approaches, stands still and then

Begins its same path, over again

When petals wilt, the memories, forlorn

My lonely heart bleeds, cut by a thorn

love-1137270_960_720
It’s been a long time since,

I can’t remember when

Still, the sound of your voice,

Sends shivers through me

I can see in your eyes,

You know this to be

Though years have passed by,

Over and over, decayed

And we have grown older,

More tired and grayed

We still feel the spark

That once kindled a flame

As we burn with the fire,

And our love, we reclaim

Thoughts that carry moments

Left lingering in the dark

Cold and ever wandering

Extinguished, lose their spark

Yet, this fire burns inside me

Chars the paper, where I lay

The words my soul has written

With the flames of yesterday

rose-889564_960_720
Overflowing letters
The words to her, he wrote
She kept them neatly, in a box
So sweet, was every note

Of how he thought about her
What she meant to him, his bride
As he watched her, walking toward him
His heart, so full of pride

Knowing she was only his
This blessing in his life
Remembering that summer day
When she became his wife

But time slipped quietly by
And the letters now impart
The memories he tucked away
Yet, kept within his heart

Reminiscent of her beauty
A red rose, he leaves behind
As the scent of her still lingers
Intertwined, in heart and mind
