Janet Bingham Poet Rhyme

The Candle and the Flame

THE CANDLE AND THE FLAME

When I become the candle
and you become the flame,
I will burn for you so brightly.
Will you love me just the same?
When my taper is not present
and my tallow brings desire,
will you turn ever so slowly
to reveal my hidden fire?
If I leave behind my essence
in the candle of your heart,
will you light another candle
in the haven that we start?
May my warmth ignite your spirit
in the shadows after dark
and may the fires of Heaven
be rekindled in your heart.

Janet Marie Bingham
