Candlelight

Candlelight A soft golden glow bathes the room in its warmth The world stops for a moment … Time stands still and allows our trials and worries To fade into a tranquil blanket of peace and security A softhearted melody emerges in the background Giving birth to the personality of the night White curtains of lace flirt with a summer breeze As playful shadows dance freely across the room Framed memories of yesterday adorn a dusty mantle. While next to them lie a fragrant bouquet of crimson roses Dusting the air with their sweet scent of serenity Soon a gentle night rain begins its lullaby A pair of shining footprints reflect the candlelight In a path leading from a warm bath to the bedroom Light sounds of passion and laughter echo off the walls As this home is filled with the beauty of love and life By Brian K.
