The candles life

clifton redmond

Peaceful and timid
Such a luring romance
The flame and the breeze
Have a sensual dance

The moments pass
As the hours grow
Living for longing
Its tender sweet glow

Just enough light
As the wax scent it sends
Forever flickering peacefully
Into slumbers descend

Bound only to reach
The bitter sweet end
Now wick alone
Is only true friend
