Under the Candlelight

By the candlelight your smile shines.
                                   We cuddle close in a world with closed blinds.
                                           Touching in the shadows of light, 
                                        we caress eachother to new heights.
                                    Till the wax drips down and the light fades.
                           The moonlight picks up from where the candle cascades.
                                  In musical harmony we lay across piano keys.
                            As we tickle the ivory with skin and a humming tease..

Michael, please find a knight who will cuddle by candlelight with me. This is such a beautful poem. I especialy love the way it progresses from the wax dripping to moonlight and a musial melody of passion. Alexa told me my entry for your contest was too long so I shortened it. Wishing you success in Russell's contest! Love, Carolyn

A wonderful poem by you Michael.But I am afraid this is not a Monorhyme.This is a couplet.Russell wants a monorhyme.Please have a look.
