Scented Love Story

in the faithful flame
of a lovely lavender candle
there is no sorrowful shame
merely a sweet story to tell
      of a lustful love
      and a raging romance
      that was approved above
      with the first graceful glance
born of delirious dreams
and fancy fantasies
submerged in supple streams
of colliding romantic realities
      this candle's lovely light
      has seen our precarious passion
      fading then burning bright
      in a rare flaring fashion

It can certainly feel like that, a flame that burns brighter as the passion ignites between two people. It can grow dim but flare up in an instant. Sensual and seductive Christy.
