What is it about the light of a candle…
that makes your eyes flicker in the night?
—
What is it about the light of a candle…
that rhythmically attunes rhythmic heartbeat?
—
What is it about the light of a candle…
that keeps this lonesome feeling at bay?
—
What is it about the light of a candle…
that warms your skin as desire heightens?
—
What is it about the light of a candle…
that proves I need you, ever, more?
—
What is it about the light of a candle…
that elicits rest, here, tonight…
in the silence of twilight?
