Candle Light Dinner

Once invited by her,
To candle light dinner,
Captivating smile in her face;
I accepted "Oooom! It's OK,
Was looking for a festal break";
Came the evening,
And we were,
At the table candle lit;
Candle kindled, 
Melting self to illuminate us;
Watched each other, 
Face to face;
The candle in midst of us;
Perhaps was the first,
Step of ladder to blend together,
In one knot;
Rise of romantic emotion,
Witnessed by lit candle,
Billowing flame in inebriation;
Unaware of melting, 
To extinction its own entity;
Blinking flame gestured,
'Agni' a fire ritual of candle,
Endorses your togetherness;
