Hold The Flame

Fragrant candle
Meet fire
Light dark
Desire
To reflect
Flicker, and dance
As wall cast shadows
Do.
Through vast empty rooms
Voices to figures
Grew,
The shrill of laughter
Echoed
From fervent lover's lips,
Whose spirits sail
Constellation star ships,
And shudder
Like the flame,
Extinguished
For cease light,
Veterans
Of intimacy
Wrapped in dark
Unlocking coveted hearts,
Clutching bare
Explorations hands
Charting
Foreign lands,
Ultimately swim
Tenderness pond.
