A Candles Life

A CANDLES LIFE 

A candles life starts at twightlight with a flame of man's might. 
It flashes and dances with flickers of a gentle light 
that cast two shadows in the night making lonely 
hearts shine bright. 

The wick burns the wax softens with lust like two eyes 
meeting at first sight with the need to burn 
bright holding one another tight. The darkness exhales 
and and the candlelight in inhales trying to burn bright. 
Knowing it's life is shortened by the end of night and 
the day becomes bright. 
This is a candles life!!!
