There is a candle wick to burn
But needs a flame to light it
There is a passion in us all
But needs love to ignite it
There is a rustle in the trees
A silent song in every breeze
That soon will bring you to your knees
But first a poet must write it

Ah, Lady Santos...

you ARE a candle and we are
the room you light up.

You could easily bring me to my knees with your poetry. What these folks don't know is that you pop these beautiful poems out in about 5 minutes, or less. Envy I wear proudly my friend, your poetry is incredible.
