CANDLE IS MY LOVE

A LANTERN STORY

By kayhan egeliPublished 3 months ago 1 min read
LIGHT IN DARKNESS

Candle and I are two peas in a teapot; you bring life to my frame,

Every night, we become one with your hot flames.

Reflecting flickering shines through my glasses, we play a romantic game,

Your heated body becomes the evening sun; every night is the same.

Tonight, I am a table lantern, together with you, lust will arise

That is the love of us, when you shine and flicker in me.

I watch you dancing around me, slowly melting in my arms with your fire

You are my sunshine, touching your body makes it a beautiful crime.

Last time, I was wearing my paper outfit, which made you fly with me to the moon,

It was a venture like sailing in the rough sea, as our way was lost in the wind.

I hold you tight, reached the clouds, but you chose to melt away so soon,

I ripped my clothes to join you, being bare together in the sky, made our bodies bind.

Nothing remains the same, being so delicate to our body heat, you always melt away gradually,

Leaving me in darkness till the next night, our story repeats itself again and again till sunrise faithfully.
