Notes About The Poem

U R My Candlelight

You are my burning wick of candlelight
Like wax filled chandelier you glow the night
And scorch my melting soul into ashes white
It swirls in trails of smoke to your delight
Drifting into heated orbs in splayed moonlight

Drawn by fragrant scent your radiance brings
Your lover's flame whisks me aloft on wispy wings
To float around your spheres of fiery rings
Pulled toward your blaze with vaporous strings

Like a moth being driven by your glow
I'm consumed by your flaming wick aglow
Vanish in your orbs, bask in flames that grow

I hold snug in your rush of fire near
And feel the flames engulf me I revere

Your lighted wick has beckoned me to stay

My blistered heart I give without a fight
By candlelight and flaming orbs meant for Kings
Your shaft of light from flames that you bestow
A glowing wanton realm, dark will disappear
Keep the melting wax on wicks, where we lay

I love that last stanza... flames can be fragile from a candle... especially when the wind gets strong... but that is going off on a tangent lol.. Enjoyed your poem Frederic... It is sensual and passionate....
