Candlelight

Candlelight burns in this quiet space
I imagine the smile, glowing on your face
I feel you are here, from many miles away
As the sun has returned to brighten the day
Kiss me like there is no tomorrow
Let’s share love to eliminate sorrow
Let’s hold each other in the golden light
That shines upon us, flickering so bright
I’ve learned you know who I am, what I feel
Our connection of strength, forever real
I know your wishes, I hope will come true
Swirling like clouds in these skies of blue
When night returns, after the sun says goodbye,
I will kiss you goodnight, igniting dreams to fly

Heidi, 'Kiss me like there is no tomorrow'. A poem that reminds me of a Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall movie. Romance is so nice by Candlelight. -Richard

Heidi, you have a poetess written all over ... humans alone can write poetry because humans "feel a range of powerful emotions." I wonder if angels and animals ever tried writing poetry? (Dogs, man's best friend, are loyal, but minus poetry). Season's blessings as you share poems

Thank you very much Anil. I am happy this has reached you and brought thoughts to you as well. Interesting. I would like to hear poetry from angels and animals. I suppose I could try writing a personification poem of an angel writing one ..lol. I hope that you have a blessed season as well :)
