A peek into some poems inside

The Candles

Two flaming candles lit up my candle
Giving me a flame so shining and bright
Watching me burn slow and steady
And guarding my flame against the blowing wind.

My base was weak tender and shaky
But firmly to the ground
They braced me from falling
Burning out their wax to build up my base
So I could stand and burn on my own

Betrayed

Without silver or gold
You promised to love me
And like Romeo loved Juliet
I loved you.
Like Jack loved Rose
I loved you more
And like Paris loved Helen
I loved you even more
Hoping that your promise was true

I gave up my dynasty for the sake of our love
I gave up my wealth, power and fame,
I gave up my status and the throne that awaited me
I gave up a life of royalty and glamour
I gave up everything to profess my love

But you loved another despite my sacrifices
You betrayed me with a conscience so dark
You......

The Echoes

It's been 18 long years
But I still hear the echoes

The echoes of your voice
And the kind words that you spoke

The echoes of your heartbeat
And the purity in it sounds

The echoes of your time
And the lives you gave a meaning

The echoes of your thoughts
And the words you never spoke
