Only A Candle

  You filled my vacant days

  and you were the one who valued me.

  you saw me with a candle

  and you thought I was the sun.

  a stranger cloaked in mystery

  and romance, one who might become

  your long lost eternal partner

  in the cosmic dance.

  hold a lantern up to the 

  face of your wife; can you not see 

  she is the truth, the light,

  the limitless love of your life?

  look in the mirror and 

  ask yourself who you are, who is 

  she, and why do you always

  give others that which is her due.
