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. |

Giving, sacrificing- this is part of love; being consumed in and by each other, willingly burning in love together... how infinitely beautiful this timeless message is. I know there is more meaning to be extracted from your poem, but there could never be enough room to speak of all the wisdom captured so perfectly in your words. Thank you... it's just beautiful. I love this divine whisper of yours. I love you, Moca |

...The candle gives its life in devotion to the flame...I love you as the candle loves the flame. Yet more, I love as only the flame can love. That burns solely to feed the candles desire. This is truly incredible. Your verses are awesome with images that burn as the candle's flame indelibly in mind. -Patricia |

Ericc...I don't think I will ever think of a candle and its flame the same as I did before reading your poem. Enjoyed. |

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. Each single word is a precious part of the perfection here. Dear Eric, I think this poem should be read in schools, in churches, in the stillness of our own rooms, as well as by lovers, as it holds the essence of what true, unconditional love is all about. You are not only a wonderful Poet, but also a very enlightened one. Love, Margherita  |

... and the heat of the flame reaches into all the hearts walking together with you on the Path of Love and its light gently flickers in all the eyes meeting yours. Enjoying this masterpiece once again ... Love, Margherita |
