Burning the candle

I see you've fanned the candle
Of our love again
May it burn bright for ever.
However even then
I get a little worried

That you may be burning
That candle at both ends
The ink flows from your pen
With such creative words
To titillate the learned
and stir up, even nirds.

I love the words you
Write to me
in never ending verse
You calm and soothe so cleverly,
and when things here (atCS) get terse
You pour oil on troubled waters
and calm those turgid waves

Thank you my darling
With me, your love you share
Your words so re-assuring
I know you really care
May those rose petals strewed,
Ever pave our way
As we travel life's highway
Every single day.

Those thorns and brambles
That would us ensnare
May be averted
With God's loving care.
Our attention not diverted
As we travel on our way
Towards each other
Together we will pray
God's Will, The order of the day.

Yes my concern is that you write,
At your desk all through the night
Beautiful words connected
The muses to delight
Continue writing dearest
From your keyboard a stream
Such lovely word pictures
Not a camera to be seen
Your imagery so real and true
How could I,
Not be in love with you

Hi, Scher,
It is a pure delight to know that love's candle is fanned to burn more brightly in our midst. Those thorns and brambles That would us ensnare May be averted With God's loving care. May it be so! Thank you for sharing.
