Love For Candle Light

I cannot read nor write without my candle light,
when power is out it shines so bright,
Its brightness and glow make my work so right,
especially when I`m composing my poems at night,
to eat and dine under it has become a family rite,
Its luminosity has affected my eye sight,
which has led to serious arguments and fight,
This pressure and nagging made me to take a flight,
which has added more pain to my plight,
but my affection and passion for it is really tight.
