A Woman Is A Candle
"FLAMING COLOURS"



Flickers change dances
with each breath
I feed it.


Melting all around
knowing it

Will be Gone.


Me too.


What use to burn?



I cannot feel my
own Flickers any longer …

when once I was an

Ever-Burning Flame,

Brilliant in my Blues -
Awesome in my Colours.



A Candle of Many Colours

I must be.
