Hold a candle (darling)
Hold a candle to me darling,
I know what path to take
But here and now contrast to anywhere…
Feels too long a road, awake
Picture a pair of perfect fools
Know not half as much as feelings lay
While one lies in between them
The other sails from bay
Hold a candle to me darling,
Though your hand may waver dear
I don’t care ‘bout the steadfast light…
Only when it falters will I fear
If a brick is laid on another
Is not the position sound?
But lay 10 bricks along each-other
And the form of wall may round
Hold a candle to me darling,
I fear darkness as much as light
So in a world where yin deals yang away
I note that light is less than bright

Thank you! You're the first person to actually welcome me!
And I swear, I didn't do any editing or reviewing whatsoever. In reality, I wrote it directly into a tumblr post a few days ago; it's not even saved onto my computer!
Thanks for the rating and review!
I liked it. :) In the description, you say that this is just some random writing (which I actually do a lot of, hehe) and I could kind of see that in the poem. Not that that's a bad thing, but it was just kind of hard to find the meaning, or story, to this.
But I honestly love your writing style, and the words you used to write this. It's not simple and plain, which I find facinating. Great job on thsi! :) Five stars!
