The candle within my heart burns for you upon the wick is an eternal flame the reflection dancing in eyes of blue shines bright at the mention of your name I do not need a picture in a gold frame i can see you in the dark of night i may never be a famous grande dame but you will always be my shining knight In the clouds is your image like a kite reminding me of the love we share your image in the dawn or sunset bright the mist of a storm and rainbow hair The candle within my heart still burns for you Does the candle within your heart burn too? < !signature--> A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 11-06-2000).] |

This is very romantic and touching, Victoria. I thought I had a candle burning in my heart one time but it was only heartburn  |

Very nice, candle burning on and on here, but only at my end.  You do romance so well. Sandra |

 Oh, how those old flames keep burning...and burning... and burning... in those little reminders all about us in "eyes of blue" or in the mention of a certain name. I love how you see your Love in the clouds, the night, and even in mist and rainbow. Supernatural. Bob <>< |

Looks more like a torch than a candle to me - but it burns most beautifully - ~S~ |

It's a wonderful feeling isn't it? I enjoyed reading this, because I must light 1000's of candles between now and forever! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey."" Laurie Lee Kathleen |

Some candles of love never burn out. You have penned a beauty in this one my friend, but that is not news now is it? Here is to hoping that you find his candle still burning bright as well. |
