Writ Uals

when we married we each with a lit candle were asked to light one with our two we burned unity but then told to blow our individuality out but this we did not do for she is hers and mine is me we lived and did most things to gether but not always for love is not force brightness comes from an inner light then came into play the phrase until death do us part but this had not been rushed in to for several years before the wind started with intent from breeze to gust to storm the atmosphere was electric with lightning dancing to jigs reels and reggae before the birthday cake was served many candles were lit but then asked to blow out and make a wish not a complete black out because my flame burned it has been said that candlelight equates romance but candle light can never define what's in the corners of rooms as darkness chews as well as consumes and carefully with a lit wick you turn to look back it doesn't shine much light on the muchness that was there alcohol is fuel for a fire making the flame higher and intense but in time takes a toll on such a heart filled lamp so though never will the dead be buried came a time to take her outened candle place it on her dated stone but not to light just to let melt with help from the sun
