I fear

by Yakari Gabriel   Aug 12, 2011


I fear the candles you
adorn my bed with,
for their sweet light may
burn...

(and my imperfections
may become
visible to you)

or perhaps
because they mean
we'll make love, tonight
so that, I'll moor
my ship over your
chest.

though still I fear not
your anchor in my waters
nor the immense
delight you plant
on my curves

but...
my heart becoming
too involved in
the situation.

    "for their sweet light may burn". I like the play on words here, and I like the image this gave. Interesting!

    I also love the part about anchor in the waters. I think the imagery here works really well!

    Commenting from my phone, sorry it's not so in depth, but I adored this poem and wanted to say a little something :)

    I agree with everyting Abed said. The emotions in this poem are really intense starting with the first stanza:

    I fear the candles you
    adorn my bed with,
    for their sweet light may
    burn...

    ^ These few verses definately set a vivid image, which yet still leave some space for interpretation and imagination. Though the situation you described may seem nice it gets "ruined" by the fact that the speaker fears it.

    though still I fear not
    your anchor in my waters
    nor the immense
    delight you plant
    on my curves

    ^ I thought your choice of words was great and that the metaphor you used was a nice way of saying what you two wanted to say without saying it straight away. But maybe it's just me. :P

    but...
    my heart becoming
    too invovled in
    the situation.

    ^ This was my favorite part and it gave your poem the final kick. I have to admit that there is nothing I complain about because it's a great piece overall.
