Candle light
I place glowing embers of my love in your hands
You warm yourself, blow out your breath to redden them
Your features are all lit up, the red glow branded
Across your eyes, your smile, I write your next poem
I take all the words I have gathered up here
All the moments, all the love that I have for you
Nothing lost, each image perfect, everything near
Deep in my heart something so strong, full of virtue
I hand you my gift, the smallest kernel of faith
Almost invisible, yet the strongest thing here
Let it take you and guide, go before you, a wraith
Light your pathway away and back, your souvenir
