A Solitary Candle
The sun sets, staining
The sky with the exquisite shade
Of violet; a handful of
Stars, flickering like
Candles in the evening breeze
But through all the
Centuries, and the millions of
Twilights I have witnessed,
Not one star has ever burned as brightly
As the solitary candle
That stands in the room behind me.
I turn to my love, only to find myself
Enslaved in your Emerald gaze.
Extending my hand to you, I ask:
"Shall we? The night grows no younger,
And the Hunt awaits us."
You slip your hand into mine, all the while
Looking at me with complete and utter
Amazement, and yet I wonder
If you will ever realize that
It is you who amazes me; That
No matter the time that has passed, nor
The distance that may separate us, in the instant
We reunite I am consumed in the flames
Of your eternal light.
