Sunlit Candles

We’ve been burning the candle at both ends.
Maybe I will melt away with you.
Waxing in love limned by moonlight,
Warm bodies suffused with a morning dew.

With summer days looming longer, we languish,
Sometimes singed to a shorter fuse.
Seared threads threatening to extinguish,
But the flame, the darkness shall never imbue.

A sleepless night, penning this by candlelight;
The silhouette of your face is my muse.
Coming dawn, the Southern Sun smugly rises -
Cannot hold a candle to these dusky views.

Through the day, you will be my light,
Until the night,
When I reignite with you.

Wonderful poetry shared Dennis.
"Through the day, you will be my light,
Until the night, when I reignite with you."
I liked the ending. We need sometime to give spark and joy to our life. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Absolutely beautiful, so passionate and sensual. I love the imagery you create here, especially in the first verse - Warm bodies suffused with a morning dew...
