Wine by Candlelight

A thousand tea lights spread
Across a table,
Glimmering in their reflection
A thousand stars,
Across the wine bottle.

Reflection, as my redemption,
A thousand teas lights
For a thousand years
Added to eternity
That I spend without you.

Reach out and touch the flame,
It burns as my passion does,
A single entity amongst
A sea of single entities,
Dancing and flickering.

Of sorrows and madness,
Of the forgotten and lost
Praying to a dark moon
On cold starless nights,
Calling out for you.

Elegance and grace remembered
And warmth as well
Like a stomach full of fine
Great wine, the smell
Of fruit; and remembrance.

Sweetness in taste, turns
Bitter and harsh
My wine has become
My vinegar, my candles
Have all gone out.

Into the darkness I shall step,
Into the cold I will venture,
Into the abyss I shall hold
Of memories of you,
My Love, My Lost.
