A candle flame fluttered and vanished
For, it wished not to be tarnished.
Said, "Ye monk, in mind your deeds black,
Character is what a man does dark!"...

A candle flame does not flutter
And is not extinguished,
For it is determined to glitter
And not to be  tarnished!
Said “ Dear devout,
Halt a moment and hark!
Here is a blemish-less monk,
Even in the dark!!”...

Soft candle flame soothes,
Exhausted eyes and tensions
Release me quickly.

I am grateful for
Its’ generosity and
I melt into peace.

No human can make
Such miraculous magic
As a candle flame.

As waning sun
shall close the day
and stars betray
my heart's undone.
The quilted night,
no solace brings,
her voice ne'er sings 
to ease my plight.
Yet, love, I dare 
to speak your name
by candle flame
and feel you there.
I long for this 
one scented kiss....

don't scare me with darkness
night is my only allay on remaining date
with her, no stars, no moon, no bonfire or one flicker of a candle flame
I am fearless

not my mistake anymore
once I am being mute and deaf to your seduction
your sharp stare itself
melting your wax mask...

The wind would blow alluring strands of your soul, tickling seductively, weaving like a candle flame lyric, where it danced provocatively. You fondled the depth whirling to the surface edge taking a little hope with you; then flew away. You cannot ask and then leave me brittle.

Yes, I saw ice flaming in the angry sun;
smoke was oozing out of it!

I felt heat in the north pole,
while fishing!

I swear it, I heard a seal
telling me "good morning"!

Can you believe I also tasted
light from a candle flame?!

Reality had exchanged places
with fantasy for a moment.......

A candle flame flickers in the dark

and a moth seduced by its light

falls into a trance;

hypnotized as it swoops and dives

waltzing with the flame's

flittering tempo,

dodging deadly kisses;

life and death partnered

in a macabre dance

of desire and compulsion....

Busy busy day
No time to stop~pray
Internal strong light 
Diminishing out
Candle going now

If only prayed
A few seconds
Feeding candle
Holy Spirit

No prayer 
Candle flame
Now flickers

Small test 
Lights out

May my light invite
Only be strong lamp
Source Holy Spirit
Fed everyday
Until overflow

To frame each day

You are candle flame inside a room
Unbothered by wind nor disturbed of air, 
Flickering not as if going out--
As fluttering of dewy eyes--
To flaunt your delicate virtue.
Yet I as a moth, still am mesmerized
By your quietude, so charmed 
By your indifferent gravity.
I would call it wiles
If it wasn't so pure....

Sometimes.
     just sometimes
when a breeze brushes my cheek
carrying a curious scent,
a delicate flower pushes through a crack
in the sidewalk,
a candle flame reflects in a window
spotted with rain,
I close my eyes,
listen to my heartbeat as the world fades away,
and quietly ...
              ... wonder

The windowsill is broken,
As midnight chills the skin. 
The moon is lit for romance,
the heart beat aches for sin. 

The candle flame has risen,
boiling the blood to red. 
A lie is for the living,
and a secret for the dead. 

Whisper a word of promise,
I'll be the only one. 
The warmth I felt upon my lips, 
cursed by the morning sun....

The drop of fire stealthily burns
A tender angel descended into darkness
Spirit raised by my own hand
It grasps into the viscous air
Clinging, to rise, struggle, survive,
Calmly watching I realise I created torment
The flame needed me to live
I needed it to feel safe
Then I wonder who's need is greater
The creature of the creator?

Evening sky artist's pallette, shades
of the flickering candle flame.

Scintillation, Iridescence
light's refraction makes the perception.

Yellow, orange and reds compliment
Each other in perfect harmony

Complimentary colors blended
pleasingly to the artist eye.



Written for Brian Strands contest --Intervals.

Butterfly
painted lady
spread your wings

Thighs of color
pose your love

I light
candle flame
for you
I am
consumed by fire

Since my house
has burned down
I can see
the moon more clearly

I gaze upon
your Eden
falling upon me

I run blindly
to you
as you mount
flowers
in my garden

As I hold you
in my arms
do not
let me feel
your departure
upon my hand......

A candle flame flickers smiles at me
The sun descends to the horizon so free
The moon prepares to show its face
Another night to be seen, from place to place
The sky shines, as the day says goodbye
Setting upon white birch trees where birds fly
I want these words to bring the light to you
Hear them, feel them, so they resonate through!

The clear light
Golden white
A candle flame
Luminosity aims
Upon the screen
Images thus seen
Thought borne
Desires adorn
Unfulfilled desire
Of heart all afire
Choicelessly choosing
Dreams sequences musing
Until the spiralling energy
Becomes calm & sedentary 
Laying it’s head to rest
Within the bliss nest
Wherefrom it arose
From its eternal repose

THOUGH WE ARE FAR 
I CAN STILL FEEL YOUR LOVE
WATCHING THE SAME STAR, IN THE SAME SKY
UP ABOVE
FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE HEART ACHE MY BODY IS FREE OF
TILL DEATH DO US APART YOU ARE MY BELOVED!
WHEN I THINK OF YOUR FACE I NO YOU AN LOVE ARE THE SAME
AN OUR PASSION BURNS LIKE A CANDLE FLAME
NO GAMES,NO BLAME,NO SHAME
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART
AN THOUGH WE ARE FAR WE ARE NEVER APART!...

A candle flame
                                                flashes its light
                                             from all directions                                                
                                           to the extent possible
                                              without telling lies
                                           Blindness always fails...
