The Candle
Placed carefully there, the candle burns bright
Guiding two lovers, exploring that night.
Shadows upon shadows, as two dance a beat
Sharing a flame, as desire turns to heat.
The candle burns down, the night moves ahead
Two lovers exposed by the candle at the bed.
The scene is of passion, unbridled desire,
As the candle burns on, they take from its fire.
As dusk now approaches and wax dripped away
The two lovers sleep, to soon welcome day.
With little flame left, but as much as is able
The candle looks upon them, there from its table.
