For the ladies
Candlelight Contemplation
Candle lantern sitting on the table glimmers so,
a honey shaded light that illuminates but weak.
Yet it highlights the soft curves of your cheek,
and dances in your eyes with such a lovely glow.
By candle light I watch you unnoticed as I do,
treasuring the moments like hoarded gold.
recalling them, etching them, for when I’m old,
to bring them out and view them as if new.
Images bound within my very soul are they,
and dear to me beyond avarice or price.
Your smile has such an eldritch power to entice,
but then I am Midas rich in memory of you I say.
Candlelight Contemplation
Exquisite poem, creating marvelous images.
