First lesson

Posterior presentations, my first exercise was a description. I had to describe a candle. Since I didn't have any that I wanted, I procrastinated my assignment for at least a week. But, as any writer knows, insights come to your mind when you least expect. This came to me, when I was working and had to stop what I was doing to write it down, only looking at the candle in my mind.

Candle

I light this candle and all I can see is your face.
The flame is intense and reminds me of how much you've changed.

I try not to look, but the brightness catches my eyes.
As I try not to see that this world is full of lies.
Oh God! Help me to understand why!
It burns so deep….
That all I can think
Is why he is not mine!


(so childish!)
