they some up life, those poems do. great job

Love the words in the bold. They give your poem all the more meaning.

loved the lines:"Solemn in stoneSilent in noise"-great

"Aura of the airAroma of the flame"-superb imagery

"Now cry meDespise meSave me"- a superb ending loved it.

Nice. I like the use of Bold face words to guide you through the poem.

Hm. I'm not Catholic but reminds of church (with the candles, incense), needs of absolution, connecting with God while looking at a statue of Jesus, Mary or a saint.

Hmm... I'm gonna have to puzzle through this one... :p But I absolutely love it!

No idea what this means, but it sounds cool :)
