Candle light...love...memories
by: R. E. P. Smith

“A candle flame...
hypnotic...
bright...
casting shadows...
illuminating faces...
wax melting, dripping...
flame shrinking...
beauty increasing...
odors enveloping…
wick burning…
wax melting...
the air...
Her skin...
rembrandt shadows…
across her face...
one eye brighter...
both peering…
my soul pierced...
mine into hers…”
