love,
Lights dimmed in a cool marbled hall
a solitary candle flickers
soft chamber music echoes
and my thoughts turn to You
down on my knees
memories come as love has gone
how many times have I begged
to have a heart to hold
a bond to build
an angel to adore
Again I beg for the courage
the strength to carry on
to lead
to live
to love
unconditionally
A bright ray of sunshine
filters through the stained glass window
illuminating your image
heartaches soothe as I take in your essence
and I know
my heart is meant for You

Loves promenades towards emptiness
longing is a void
darkness of a million universes
where mythical black holes
chant of timeless desires
Yearning for carnal eternity
where candles never die
Two of us
never met
oceans apart
gasping for affections
in different times
winds may have swept
this way or that
never seen
Wind and candle lie in death
so lost
in emptiness

christmas,
Light me a new candle,
Put it before the manger,
It is a bit cold, love.
Yet we’re in no danger.
There's Jesus, a small babe
In a cold, wintry day
Lying on some fresh straw.
Kneel down and calmly pray.
Mary, Joseph calmly,
Adore the king of kings
Shepherds come with their lambs
Angels fly with bright wings.
Christ in Bethlehem born.
Choirs sing heavenly hymns.
Let us give Him His due
Ask to forgive our sins.

In the darkest of times
be the light of a candle
but the harshest of crimes
to let melt your candle
***
Give, unmindful of a reason
feel the heavy burden light
remember to mind your reason
fill your very soul with Light
***
Like a delicate dove
bathe into sweet waters well
feed on the seeds of Love
reach not the bottom of its well.

beautiful,
.He walked in silence
to the corner of my heart
He lit a candle~ fire
in a room once damp and dark
His words were gently spoken
His love was loud and clear
His arms were unexpected
A fearless Chevalier
My strength was getting weaker
My pulse~rate running low
He sheltered my emotions
and fortified his soul
He helped me win the battle
against solitude's blade
His kiss bestowed upon me
His palm upon my faith
A faith of a new promise
on paths of pastel hues
Of jasmine scents and marigolds
Of Sunsets in the blues.

love,
There is no more I need to know
We're lost in the night;
Washed in the candle glow
Of shimmering light.
*
In this moment longings flare
The time is now;
So much we have to share.
*
Hear the night wind as it sings
It fans the fire;
Remove your things.
*
The darkness dances and dips
The firelight flickers and falls
From your toes to your lips
As shadows skim the walls.

emotions, feelings, heart, lost love, love, nostalgia, passion,
In one brief moment
you saw me as I am
without a word spoken
palm open for my hand.
Nary a harp string plucked
silence graced the air
silhouettes became one
my heart I laid bare.
Candle wicks were unlit
full moon a distant past
my emerald eyes glowed
your love echoing back.
Fire our skin to skin heat
scent unique unto us
not a flower in bloom
our souls we gave in trust.
In one brief moment
you saw me as I am
the memory of each breath
my bliss I'll always have.

The sun sets..
Darkness surrounds..
There is a candle burning..
Candle light ..
A flickering flame..
A tender flame that glows so lovely..
Peace and quiet..
Silent and still
Only the sound of a slight crackle..
By a warm glowing candle..
In my moment of silence..
In my moment of serenity
I softly whisper a prayer of gratitude..
A heartfelt prayer of pure Love..
My entire being had been lifted by divine love..
The flame of the candle had died..
For I am now the flame of the candle..
Glowing with divine love and light..

~ A candle that burns with true love - is hard to extinguish ~
quote by poet
The brief night with the sweetness of musk aroma
Wake up at dawn with a song of praise on rosy lips
A heavenly calm, gilded as never before
She can feel his breath and they have sworn an oath
Quiet as the fireflies, heart beats under the thin blouse
How pure and gorgeous, the sunlight envelops the earth
An impassioned sigh in the flush of innocence
Spectrum of love is unrestricted - it is far to the bottom in a well

Twin Flames
one flame flickers blue
as love awakes a journey
connecting a friend
as red flame sparks holding hands
tame harmony remains “Love”
te amo
holding each other
our own little universe
communicating
in a language all our own
burning one unified flame
jet ’aime
flickering flame sings
orange green red blue one soul
passionate love grows
candle ignites luminous
holding my heart existence
I love you

I love you in Spanish, te amo and France, Jet ’aime

love,
A pre-lit Christmas tree sparkles the entrance
Monet, Van Gough, and Wassily Kandinsky prints
adorn the walls of her sitting room
a dozen painted roses sit in a faux crystal vase
and the smell of apple pie lingers in the air
coming from her Scentsy candle warmer
resting upon her replica baby grand piano
The seconds tick loudly from the tree house looking cuckoo clock
as I wait
patiently I wait
down the stairs she comes
waltzing ever so gracefully
ever so elegant
in her bright flowing yellow dress
accented by beautiful costume jewelry
my heart skips a beat
as we kiss hello
and I know
yes I know
This love is real

lost love, summer, autumn, summer,
She sits in the old rocking chair
Threads of silver in her golden hair
Alone in the glow of candle light
She rocks so gently in the night
Outside the autumn leaves do fall
As shadows dance upon the wall
Crystal tears in eyes of china blue
Fall for the love she never knew
He came to shore that summer day
His schooner anchored in the bay
And with a glance her knees grew weak
She lost her voice and could not speak
For there he stood so tall and lean
The handsome man in all her dreams
And he broke her heart that summer day
When he said goodbye and sailed away

love,
Just a peek inside my window
there's a touch I let you be
a place with good intentions
come on in and set me free
You're the warmth upon my pillow
the mist held nearer my cheek
my moments brought in the ever after
you're the only angel that I seek
There's a candle on the mantel
burning bright so we can see
the other side of my moonlight
where your flickers dance for me

absence, death, grief, heartbreak, longing, lost love, silence,
out like a candle
in a gust of wind
there then not
gone
taken from me
replaced by a gaping silence
a faded memory
a heartache
throbbing
refusing to heal
i try to remember
the tone of your voice
of your laughter
barely audible
it’s there in the distance
out of reach
a million light years away
and i trapped on my side
alone in this realm
disconnected
i now rush to accomplish
all that i must
so i may join you
some day
in eternity

It broke her heart
when Franco died
he’d been her soul mate
wed over fifty years
he’d been her life
For her Franco
she had a ritual
lit a candle every night
so he would know
how much she missed him
Today would be a special day
she felt it when she closed her eyes
wouldn’t be lighting any candle
she took her one last breath
set down the path to join her Franco

destiny, fantasy, lonely, love,
Listening to your voice whispering
The moon is my mentor
With the search of your aura and pounding heart
The answer to this makes all the difference
Because my longing sings about my dear angel
Such feelings reins all my energy
No one can live among broken walls
The wind blew out the candle, chilling
In search for every space, every need and even secret dreams
As a landscape into the timeless time

I light my candle from within the more I give to you,
An inner strength builds inside, it fills my empty soul,
The encompassing love present when my life was askew,
Needing a reason to get up every morning was my goal,
Volunteering at hospice gave me more, filling a gapping hole.

“By Candle Light”

love,
She counted the candles
with the arithmetic of an ancient angel,
the impertinent years of her life fuelled the flames slowly
patiently, and prettily,
a flicker for the fast joys, a standstill for the sorrows,
she knew very well how age brought trials, tears, and triumphs,
and she believed in life after death
as a dove believes in the upcoming morning,
to the field of birthday fire
she blew a blissfully blue breath
the lights waved and vanished like startled wraiths,
yet there was one stubborn candle
that seemed to glow upon her quiet heart
revealing with a direct warmness...
You either live inspired, or you die -

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...

hope, love,
Love without hope, is a rose without fragrance
Random musical notes, that have no cadence
An extinguished candle, by an unpromising wind
Where the heart panhandles, to a disheartening whim

12th grade, angst, anxiety, emotions, encouraging, feelings, love,
When your eyes are open, yet all seems dark,
prospects appear slim; your future looks stark,
and the innocence of youth lost its spark.
Let love be your candle.
If the stars fail to pierce ebony skies,
or the light within your soul ever dies,
while life's cacophony drowns out your cries.
Let love be your candle.
Should you find yourself blinded by the night,
and you're in desperate need of a light
to identify what is wrong from right.
Let love be your candle.
If you are suppressing a silent scream,
lost within broken fragments of a dream,
aimlessly wandering from scheme to scheme.
Let love be your candle.

**From my collection of poems: 'Apollo's Diary'
I wonder if she thinks of me,
at night, alone.....
in her melting-bed;
With moon full as her curiousity
....my breath, the wind in the late hour
the stars I shall tease with,
and phallic-lavender to ignite her bosom;
I am all things gentle, yet mighty,
soft as her silk sheets.....
Dark and tall in her bedroom shadows,
but candle-light makes me real
with the night so young,
if a king should come ----
he will not do.....
She longs love, not adulterous power;
I shall whisper upon a balmy breeze.....
(I wonder if she thinks of me)
at night.....

adventure, light, light, love,
You really know my hide,
overlook my libido side,
enfolding me, your wings do sigh,
the love in your sweet soul does cry,
of times we were together,
back in the never never,
when we had wings to fly,
till the white light took you, why?
until two souls are surely clever,
the seperation does sever,
all contact till i die,
in the astral she comes by,
to light a yellow candle,
and i cannot deny,
passion hard to handle,
a love enfolding high,
till alone in my preamble,
and life again is wry,
understandable....

fiery events
a candle flickers
ever waning as it melts
may love spark again? of course
breath pleased a candle
flames tuckered time for amour?
nicely kindled set to spark
