Preciously Hidden

A haggard candle
stands erect.
A wick of fire wicked
mischievously dances:
Teasing the shadows,
Seducing the darkness.

My eyes are glassy,
ever filled with
a memory forgotten.
Stare to the hypnotic glow.
Burning away time,
Licking the still night.

Do not smile,
for they might see it.
