Candles of Your Fingers

I miss the candles of your fingers holding mine ,
as we waltz on floors that bathe our dusk.
Seasons glimmer of moist orange,
hands tracing night passages with mirrors
inside our eyes capturing reveries and hymns
of epics written in ashes, on orchids, 
and among seashells.

Yet, I have to part for now
through the sweet ghost of winters lost...
here are your hands ; I give them back to you 
with mine for a while... 
God, how I still miss the candles of your dusk

You melt my heart! You are a trailblazer; I can think of no one going where you seem to in your poetry. To me you are in a league all your own.

I'm about to go into the morning boogie routine... and stopped to read your poetry. Oh, hon... love this! nails tracing nocturnal passages... nnnnnnnn.... so good. and the last line, both soft and sharp... somehow both bitter and poignant, as all grief feels... and my favourite... epics written in ashes, on orchids and among seashells. Truly sublime poetry, lady. One of your best, yet... love and hugs
