In Candlelight Sun to light the golden shore Moon, the silver sea Stars to twinkle galaxies Of love on you and me Lanterns shed a misty glow Hearth a warming flame Candle sparkles in your eyes And whispers out your name If I could somehow capture All the light that they impart It wouldn’t match the radiance Of love within my heart So let the darkness fall upon us Let the love light shine And I will light the fires Of the passion that is mine The galaxies are incidental Let the starlight be And moon will still glow softly On the crests of silver sea Let a single candle wick Burn into the night And you and I will warmly bathe In halos of it’s light The flickering flame will softly glow Upon your silken skin And light the beauty of the love That’s waiting there within Sun to light the golden shore. Moon, the silver sea Candle’s flame to light our love In waves of ecstasy Elizabeth Santos |

"It's just a poem" does not apply to anything you write, Liz. The English language is transformed into a magical instrument when in your hands and the true illumination comes from the beauty of your verse....I like your poetry, by the way  |

Balladeer, What an incredible response. But it seems to me, this could have been in reverse (I like your poetry, too) Thank you, my dear friend Liz |
