The velvet candleA Poem by Alan Mark Maynes
I set down from my dorm to a vast empty room
The night was dead and I wanted a drink to consume I walked up to the bar and took a seat that was near I looked around, wondered why no one was here I looked up and there was the host We both grabbed a drink and made a toast I was staring at the velvet candle, dripping it's wax I asked him his name, and he replied gently with max In his English accent, that sounded antique Something about this man made my bones weak I heard a key from a piano, coming from another room in the mansion I felt my buzz, and still wondered about this guys fashion It was the middle of the night, way passed dawn Everybody was asleep and my drink was gone Looking from the glass, I then glanced around Nobody was there and silence was the sound Staring at the candle as it bled The mind was tired, so I decided to head back to bed As I was walking back, my eye caught an old picture, and there, there was the host I looked back, and knew then, that I was talking with a ghost © 2013 Alan Mark Maynes |
