My Candle

So slender and attractive, so bright and inviting. 

Your radiance and glow can be seen from a distance.

Without a spark you’re cold and blunt,
set a light you become a blaze of energy …

a source of warmth and inspiration! 

I fly to you

The closer I get, the more the warmth draws me in
The more the warmth draws me in, the more in love I become.
I lean in to embrace your brightest light.
And like a moth to a flame i drop away burnt and singed …

Your flickering flame, oh so brilliant, is like the stinging whip of a scorpions tail. 

A quick and quiet sidestep preserves my life.
I mustn’t be tantalised by your glory another day.
