Like a Candle on the Table

by Everlasting   Feb 15, 2015


You, my dear, are like a candle.
On and on, just burning, melting;
Usually, quietly.

At night, I can see you brightly,
Right there, flickering, dancing,
Entertainingly, un-harmful.

Always lively. Fully charming.

Lightening the room entirely.
Instigating me to watch you.
All in all, just luring me to you,
Right towards your ardent spirit.

Beckoning me towards your fire.
Unaware, I follow you,
Tempted, wheedled by your heat,

I come closer, blazing in desire,

Lost, just looking at your eyes,
Over, and yes, over again, I,
Venture to your touch
Eager for a shelter.

Yearning for your warmth,
On and on, just loving
U

    Your title reminded me of the song "Like a candle in the wind" and whats even more smarter in this write is the way you have done the acrostics! Brilliantly penned and I like the imagery it holds.
