25.  Beauty By Candlelight

I close my eyes and imagine the sight
Of your naked body lit by candlelight
It’s flickering flame moves as if cursed
As it’s light dances on your every curve
 Shadows it casts caress your smooth skin
Tries to compete with your beauty, not knowing how to begin
The flame falls to submission, somehow mesmerised
It’s golden light kisses your smooth thighs
Sweet innocent beauty with feminine charm
Not knowing the gifts you hold in your arms
Soft glow of candlelight dances in your eyes
I know you’ve caught me, in my game of eye spy
Softly snuffing the candle between fingertips
Smoke rising kisses your ruby lips
Darkness shrouds your body taking every care
 Though blackness does not hide all the beauty there
I open my eyes, losing the sight
Sweet angel of love, beauty by candlelight
