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 1/26/18 contest Minuanetta

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....
