Lonely taper burns on  Imparting dismal light  Amongst prevailing gloom, Remains like a brave soul Faces darkness, will bloom

Lonely taper burns on Melting away slowly, Waiting his arrival, Struggling desperately, For its own survival,

Lonely taper burns on Imparting glow to face, Behold, shines a lone tear, Tickling down sallow cheeks, Sticking still to hope dear

Lonely taper burns on  Emits ominous smoke  Dark night ends in despair, Shattering every hope, Of finding love and care.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
