To stand so still beside your bed
My light to give a calming glow
The fragrance of my love to shed
And this, my passion, ever show
If I, a candle, could express
My heart through flames and sweet perfume
Your eyes: my oxygen; my breath
Supply the spark to light this room
And I would burn to see your face
Each flicker dancing in your gaze
Until the last of me dissolved
The flame extinguished by the grave
Inscribed in fire, let me tell
With every length of wick I lose
I set this blaze within myself
To be the warmth inside of you

Wow! So sweet and romantic! The picture is cool too.
Thank you very much! I always struggle with what picture I will use 🙂
I can’t think of a word more perfect. Thank you for posting this. Nothing was perhaps ever so needed as this.
Wow. I can’t imagine it is that good but it’s very sweet of you to say so 🙂
There has been nothing in the world ever offered that is so good.
I can’t imagine why you choose to bestow such praise on my simplicity, but i will keep trying to provide you with what I can. Thank you for inspiring me 🙂
And it is intriguing to me how you would find inspiration by me.
My audience is my inspiration. If not for you, none of this would exist. Why throw words into oblivion that no one cares about? But to have someone to share them with makes it worth the pain
Thank you for deeming me worthy of sharing with. I must have read this dozens of times. One of your best works.
Thank you kindly. I wrote it some time back actually, and waiting a while to post it. I was falling asleep one night thinking of some very special people and looking at a small fake candle light
wow…you have been busy…will return to catch up and read through this one again…
I look forward to your return! 🙂

I keep coming back and rereading this over and over. I think it is a special thing to have someone as devoted to be your candle thank you again for sharing. My day is brighter because of it 🙂
Thank you very much. Perhaps I still have a little wick left
I think I felt that way once in my life…it was a highschool love…hell, I even went to Church just to sit by her side…imagine that:) Fire in this poem great representation of your passion.
Haha well my dates usually went to church on my account. Oh wait, never mind…I never had dates. Relationships were too emotionally stressful for me 😛
OMG! talk about imagery…. this one has me gasping for air. I love it!!!!
Aww you are too kind, BlueGem. I’m glad you liked it!
