Michael J. Falotico Poet Monorhyme

A Lover's Ride

The flicker from the candle carries me under the tide..
                                   With you in the shadows your beauty can never hide..
                                    A playful chase in the dark as the light spreads wide..
                                        Only winners in this game with you by my side..
                                     Now two bodies caught in a tangle left only to slide..
                                            I pray the light stays out for our lover's ride..
