BURNT ME ...ONE STANZA of my poem.

''I am that light(flame)
the only candle
which is lit(as in spark)
not by matches/(or gas burner used for cigarette )
but
by flames(heat) of those
who ignite(themselves)(Jealousy produces heat hence flame)
reading my
in-core delight ''

Note
I know the understanding of this single stanza
could cause confusion

(INTENTION)
'''I am a candle
burning bright
for those
who enjoy my light''

Burning bright, my friend!

Burning bright, my friend!

I don't know if one can be the light and the candle in the same time.

But i see clearly your idea. If you have candle and flame in different stanzas, maybe then it will be better?

I am a candle
burning bright
for those
who enjoys my light

i am a spark
of glaring flame
for those
who is in the dark

I am ignited
by their glance
on my poetic lines

this is a good poem for me

If I never saw anything by you I would be delighted by this work. It has fun literary devises that work into a modern poem.
Only the title is confusing and trite. The rest of the poem is sophisticated.
Makes us think. changes direction. leaves us knowing but wanting more.

All of us need to write as if the poem you are working on was going to be the only one chosen for an anthology, a poem which tells me I don't have to have ever read any of your work...this poem, now, is who you are and defines you. Think of any great poem or poet, it's the same. Each work has purpose, takes itself seriously. I think this one has that merit.
