Holding a candle

 


I will hold this candle

as it burns for you,

and when the flame starts to dim,

charring my fingertips

I’ll set fire to

the one in my dreams,

letting the wax coat everything.

 

I’ll keep the fire burning forever and a day,

because you hold my heart so delicately.

 

And when I talk to you

my brain goes fuzzy,

like I’m drunk and dizzy,

my tongue gets tied

and I feel silly but I love the feeling,

of being. 

Just being…

Me, when I am with you.

 

And I just dream to

always be by your side.

For every stray sunbeam in my brain

is a neon light shining your name.

Every flowery verse I release,

is a wish, for you to always be

happy, so that your smile

can flow over me like

I’m a pebble on a beach.

 

And if I become an island, away from reality,

then my mind will row to yours,

because, to you I’m drawn like gravity

and my thoughts always soar.

 

Please never untie

these knots you bind

around my heart and my mind,

For my truth told

is that I love to feel love,

and that is

what you do to this foolish scribe.

 

And under your blue sky I’ll always stay

because your heart is a summer day,

and I want to sunbathe in you,

and feel every moment of joy,

every feeling of hope,

every tingle of excitement,

every spark of emotion,

every roaring flame of passion

and just feel the tingle of

every single second as we sit in

the warmth of every single minute,

letting the angels play for us

every single day.

 

You see I’ve been in love before,

but never has my whole world

felt so closely entwined,

like every thought sings your name,

and every heartbeat was just a precursor

to the roar that now lives within mine.

 

Every picture on every wall

reminds me of your beauty.

Every sky makes my heart feel tall,

every breathe of wind makes me fall

even more deeply than before. 

And whilst love has knocked on my door,

I’ve never felt the world stop and my heart soar

as much as it does when I look

and see your smile beaming, so radiant and pure,

like a summer moonlight calling

to whisper her words even more gently.
