The Dancing Flame
The Dancing Flame
The flickering flame
of the scented candle
gives off light
enough to guide
our way through
the darkness
so we can gaze on
one another
as the shy
orange-blue eye
silently watches
warming the room
our shadows start
to slow dance
far off into
the realm of touch
dancing as we do
arouses
the rising flame
swaying like fire
hypnotic
slowly, surely
our flesh
melts in a blaze
of sweet desire
until the passion
becomes peace
dreaming of
one another
until finally
the flame
goes out
into the darkness.
