Beneath flickering candlelight

and frozen crystal bells

A starlight serenade of hope

unbinding sacred spells

Incantations drifting tide

on winter’s endless night

Releasing stillness from within

two souls surrender fight

With vibrance the light plays

on her indigo crimson display

sultry sadistic prisms of debonair decay

This bouquet of aching longing

each petal dripping dew

As sweetness flows unhindered

and hearts beat rhythm new

We shelter in whispered softness

in flames we dance as one

as incandescence overflows

Awaiting daybreak’s sun
