Best Candlelight Poems

Their candles burnt brightly long ago
Providing for us and watching us grow
But the years passed by and took their toll
And left behind gaps in our soul.

When we were young they were always there
And that they'd be there forever how wrong we were
Old age comes make...

Candlelight burns in this quiet space
I imagine the smile, glowing on your face
I feel you are here, from many miles away
As the sun has returned to brighten the day
Kiss me like there is no tomorrow
Let’s share love to eliminate sorrow
Let’s hold each other in the...

The closer to heaven we become dreams are born pure 
love the finest silk beams ivory on this earth's breath 

Dewdrops weep for the night as starlight crystals drop down 
amazing grace under a silver chalice drinking
 
From the moonshine is where the song sings...

Inside nice and warm
A little girl sits

Captured by the story
As her mind engages
 
Dragons swooping
As the butterflies flutter
So intense in her...

Neither one of us was frustrated.  We cherished the moment and our

Storm knocked out the power, the candles are now lit
Ice cream is going to melt, so let's make a banana split 
Bring out the board games, time to use our skills and wit
Conversations are much better, don't you agree a little bit
Let's snuggle to keep...

Silver tangoing with the shadows of thought 
Light of a thousand stars sparkling winks 
One beauty of a light explodes before the eyes 

Batting lids fall as wings upon a vision swoop 
Taking the heart away into a realm filled with joy 
Inside airs in...

leaving thoughts lost through a sieve.

I swore to rebuild our earthen dam,
and hold the waters at bay.

Your dream found a different plan,
