BY CANDLELIGHT

The candles lit,
I entered the dream
Where I held you close,
It was clearly seen.

Taking the key
From its hiding place,
Once more I gazed upon
Your smiling face.

A photograph held
All that was left of you,
For as the candles burned,
You proved untrue.

By candlelight,
I reminisce,
Lost in a world
Of your sweet kiss.
