Two for One

Rose scented candles

wait for

a flicker

            of flame.

In stillness

of silent readiness

they smell

like  roses

slouching in dark.

_____

Cobwebbed chambers,

  indolent heart,

  linger for impulse,

                            rots

  loitering for life

  that left the building.

[George Korolog]

Good imagery. Cobwebbed chambers, loitering for life. Some of the impact here seems to me, to be reduced by using a tired or overworn phrase", like silent readiness" Maybe you can work with that one.
