As Only The Flame Can Love

The candle gives its life in
devotion to the flame.

A death slowed in the stillness
of ecstasy's hand.

The candle prays in lessening tears.

Dissolving of its self with every
drop that falls.

I love you as the candle loves
the flame -

My all to this fire that consumes.

Yet more...I love as only the flame
can love.

That burns solely to feed
the candles desire.

 

 

Peace,

Eric
