Candlelight

Candlelight

 

A soft golden glow bathes the room in its warmth
The world stops for a moment …
Time stands still and allows our trials and worries
To fade into a tranquil blanket of peace and security

 

A softhearted melody emerges in the background
Giving birth to the personality of the night
White curtains of lace flirt with a summer breeze
As playful shadows dance freely across the room

 

Framed memories of yesterday adorn a dusty mantle.
While next to them lie a fragrant bouquet of crimson roses
As they dust the air with their sweet scent of serenity
a gentle night rain begins its lullaby

 

A pair of shining footprints reflect the candlelight
In a path leading from a warm bath to the bedroom
Light sounds of passion and laughter echo off the walls
As this home is filled with the beauty of love and life

This poem is all about mood, and you really do it well. From start to finish, I felt the world quiet and seemed more at peace. It has such sensuousness to it, and it seems to glow on the page. It's terrific!

"Giving birth to the personality of the night

This is a lovely poem. A great poem to read on Vday, even when I have no one. Because this paints the picture of all we hope for - that beautiful simplicity and joy of being in love, of prancing around the candle-lit house, from bath to bed, with each other.

I liked the idea that the night has personality - that was a nice little line.
