Your Soul in my Mind

Burning candles light the night
in my heard a bird takes flight
dripping wax fills the brass
the two of us alone together
around our fingers is tied a tether
as we feast on lovely dinner.

What I wonder in your eyes I see
this I must look there to see
a burning flame reflected in your eye
more gorgeous than the evening sky
what words I cannot use to describe it
get lodged in my throat despite it.

I'm in awe of the wills that bring us together
our dessert is the love we have for each other
that delicious array of mixed surprises
bind us together until the sun rises
then the simplest thing to show how we feel
when we say, 'I Love You', let it be our seal.
