Poem: Candle - Part II (The flame)

You comfort my thoughts,
you play the starring role in my dreams;
And I realize that my heart

would be a useless candle
if not for "you", the flame.
Every flicker, every spark,
proclaims the joy I harbor inside.
Emanating from the shimmering symbol of love
that constantly abides.
An everlasting torch
that no one on this earth can extinguish,
A heavenly warmth
that I selfishly refuse to relinquish.
This light that shines within
tells me that you are still near,
And that your feelings for me
haven't become a puff of smoke

(soon to disappear).
My darling, if you need to believe
in the bond that we share:
Just close your pretty eyes,
and immediately this candle will appear.
My love is burning there,
yearning for you.
My heart is beating here,
woman I love you.
