The Candlelight Window

by AmbientBlack   Dec 7, 2005


Dreamt of white rainbows, flickering desire, in the window of majesty, there burned yon fire...

After midnight, hushing, the black skies above, deep sighs, pretty eyes, dancing light, her love..

In caring, he's joining, in rain they're mourning, sweet moments delight, unseen star journeyed far stirred voices..twilight

Through hours of cold and miles of time to gaze upon something wonderful, sublime...

Thou careth to dance my lady? Around and round upon thy wick, her dance consumes thy candlestick..

In love, O' love thy dance is perfection, behold thou seeth thine own reflection..

Kaleidoscope bringing, lights she's singing, a soft and silky sound, brighter than silvery, moonbeams splitting, the air to strike the ground..

Where hovering above like the wings of a dove, peereth through glass, ghostly eyes of love..

Oh the pedals of roses, white and sweet, now wither softly inside a heart that beats..He standeth in the rain before the wafting glow, gold window, gilded, with adorning snow...

His vexing soul cryeth out in vain, rests his crown upon thy window pane..

Between darkness, enclosing, sweeps memories imposing, his thoughts are that of a child..

Free by light - dancing lady at night, hath nursed a dream love mild..

For hear them say, they can't see through, your glory they seek, the night fears you..

You are the power of ages, epoch of sages, before you the crushing...night doth rages..

Lift up higher, dance quickly sweet fire, searing holding - the rippling wind blowing....

Forever is beauty, forever in thy sight, behold yon window, her candlelight..

    I really like your writing style on this-archaic yet so poetic, harkening back to a different era.The rhyme scheme is subtle and the whole piece flows nicely, but it is the emotion and images that really are outstanding-fantastic imagery.This is simply beautiful in every way.Very impressive and touching.Really great poem.
