We dance in silence
Like it's the very first time
Lost in the moment
Candlelight shadows and I
Witness your beauty anew

Love set by candlelight, adorns us both
Our hands held, gripping tight
As we stand right here this night
Morning, we’ll welcome sunlight

Premium Member Wine sipped by candlelight

a summer fragrance floats drifting about
while a moon hangs low with a sullen pout
to secrets whispered in delight

We know you work hard
Blow out your candlelight stars
You can do all great things
In this wonderful universe,

stillness of the air —
the flame tangoes with my breath
  groovy pinnacle
   gently hushed   ...i dip my hand

Inside The Buddas Temple

a
gentle gust of wind
from
the
sacred wings of
the
owl moth
extinguishes the
candlelight flame
with
its
bamboo wings
inside 
the 
Buddhas temple

We Whisper Wind

The forest gallops 
Through the night
The horsemen rides
Near candlelight
The mountains 
Burrow deep inside
This ground
We whisper wind,
Without a sound

The Love of My Cat

She greeny eyes gaze into mine 
She gentle in the candlelight 
She moving look, making her shine 
She kisses me, with tender bite 
She my day, full of love divine

That Guy Over There

through keys and cords
we are spoken to in a world without words.
it's a language unto itself.

a lonesome storyteller speaking
through a tip jar and candlelight.

Know Thy God

Be this wonderment
This voice from the clouds
Be this candlelight
This chameleon of night
Tell me then, 
What is your query?
Share your enemies, but
Know thy God

The Bath

water steams past candlelight
a naked woman in a small room
full with hot, fragrant wetness
enveloping her body
releasing the tension of living
becoming just herself

                              candlelight glimmers

                          faith reflects in each small flame....

"power" Source

Grumbling as my technicolor life halts with the current,
Embracing your flickered laughter in candlelight conversation;
Descended in darkness, I notice true light flows from you.

Drat

Drat!
To the obscuring daylight,
That buries the stars;
Devalues the character of the moon;
And most of all,
Blinds my eyes,
To the essence of your candlelight beauty.
Drat, I say.
Drat!

Premium Member Disenchantment

Young Willie wooed his girl at night
And wed her in soft candlelight. 
Next morning when the sun was bright,
Young Willie contemplated flight.
