The gentle soothing glow
of the candle's flame
keeps me in its reign

It's romanticising dance
swaying with serenity
holds me in a trance

The way the shadows fall
upon unknowing walls
disguising of all flaws

Amidst this wonderous light
resides the peaceful realm
in which I've come to dwell

The longing to reach deeper
inside my now quiet mind
erasing reality and time

--------------------------
forgive me, I was surrounded by candles when I wrote this. what can I say, I was inspired

Oh, danni, this was really a vivid poem for me. I love lighting the candles and getting lost in the dance of the flames and letting your mind take you to other places. Nice capture!

Thanks lostboy. Threre is no more relaxing way to release the days stresses than by lighting a few candles and staring off into another place. Happy you enjoyed this.

Danni - I agree. Candles are mesmerizing as the flame flickers and glows.
This is a fine poem done with sensitivity and feeling.
