A Flame in the Dark

by Aaron Michael Lynn, posted in Poetry

It is not the flame so much
that worries me,
but rather the darkness
should the flame
flicker out.
I would rather be asleep
in a house
up in flames
than be wide awake
lonely
when the darkness
comes forth.

I am a marketing consultant and aspiring writer, with a major in English and a minor in history. I have been writing poetry consistently since my senior year of high school and have since published three poetry books and three novels. I have also written several songs and a few short stories. I also wrote and published a trilogy of novels, my Troika book series. I am currently working on a large-scale multi-book fantasy series that I am very excited about! Writing is a part of my every day, and I would have trouble finding meaning or the will to keep going without it.
