No wonder restaurants use candle light
To attract lonely couples
I think
As the slow glow
Flushes your face
Fuller and warmer
In the playful light
The flame
Irradiates you
Flicking a lava lamp
Of hope in your eyes
It softens you
Butters your features
Melting them
Into rounder,
Kinder curves
The candle
Flirts your lips into a fleeting grin,
Momentarily,
You beam
In the flow
Of the glow
You blow
Warmth sapped
Rekindling your darkness
You're greying
Cancer preying
Yet,
Just for a moment
I saw you glowing
