This line, Remember me dear can be read a couple of ways. You could be asking if they remember you or you could be telling them to remember you. I take the candle dying as a love that is slowly burning down and out as a candle flame does. Well done.

"Tears fall as the candle dies" ....so beautifully said, love.

Some time ago I said nothing would ever make my fire burn again....but you never know, Michael. Love can hit you so suddenly and make you forget all about the past!

Love you, my friend:)

This is a really nice poem. Your word choices were almost flawless; only one I had a problem with was 'mesmirise', since it's used so much. A good write from you - you master most forms you attempt. Good job, sir. :)
