My Love In the Light of a Candle

My love, she looks so marvelous In the light of this gentle candle The flames, they dance across her cheeks And along the lips of my dearest angel. Her delicate hands lie softly And glow in the flickering flame The light wanders blindly And dances with no aim. Her skin illuminates the room With her radiating beauty The flames dance among the light And bask in her sweet perfume. Her eyes are deep as the universe Yet flow with passionate life The flames begin to dance within Until the eyes, too, are traversed. The flames seem to disappear And periodically reemerge And in the depths of her vigorous eyes Are utterly submerged. The flame begins to lessen And slowly disappears Then dies the glow of crimson Leaving only the glow of her beauty here.
