Watch it Bleed

Wick ignites

searing pain courses

through white wax.

Imprisoned

forced to suffer

and stave off the dark.

Heat intensifies

substance melts

turns to crimson drops.

Strike a match

light a candle

and watch it bleed.

Well this is what i deem as true creativity. People write from the fire burning in their heart/soul, you've just written this from a candle. Its great to see you use external stimuli as your muse. This is beautiful.

most of the times, simplicity is key. impressive how you fit the emotions into such a short piece, but the "watch it bleed" ties it all together nicely. nice job

A very strong, compact poem. The title would make a good song title, good work.

"Heat intestifies, substance melts, turns to crimson drops" - beautiful line. I love the simplicity of this piece. It says so much in only 12 lines.
