A Single Flame

innocence memorialized in candlelight
as we sit and dream in its gleam
of flickering and playful flames
timeless and free flowing
finding each other in the midst of longing
vigilant in the rapture of a touch
reimagined
ritualizing the oneness of our being
connected in the purest form
within the glow of warm light and soft wishes
without the barriers of the tick-tock clock
endlessly - breathlessly
lost in love

Dear Lonna, as always, I found myself captivated by your love poem like a moth captivated by a flame. Silky, lustrous, intimate imagery glides upon the poetic page and delicately drapes around the soul. An exquisite creation, my dear poetry friend. Congratulations for your win in Charlotte's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
