XVII. Candlelight's Afterglow

18 3 1
                                    

I see you,
in the sight of
newly lit candlelight-
for its afterglow
reminded me of your smiles
that set ablaze the roses' thorns
and reduce to ashes
the pain from my scarred gashes;
Yet like a moth-
Should I force my wings
not to fly near
your flickering flames,
for I might die and
burn alive.
