The Candle

Decades ago
a candle of love lit
In my heart’s temple
Shaded by my passion
Survived winds of dispassion

Thanks for your admiration, Mathew. I mean shaded by my passion against the winds of adversities. I'll surely edit the poem for greater clarity within the limitation of syllables allowable.
