The Torch of Love

Your first smile my fears vanished,
Your love had found its mark.
Loneliness fled as bat banished
To abyss of the dark.

By what power; by what grace
You lifted chains of strife?
What guided Fate to draw your face
On the palette of my life?

As traveler in shadows drowned
Immersing into light --
I shed the shroud of darkness bound
And emerged from the Night.

You are the torch that casts warm glow
And fuels my life's desire.
I --- but a spellbound moth in tow
Enthralled by your fire.

I agree. Well done!

I love this. *S* And yes... love can light even the darkest corners. *S* Well done!

I was "enthralled" by the fire of your words...
