Candle Light Poem by John Powers

I see your palm
lit by candle light
warm and golden
I'm with you tonight

I feel you touch me
it's alright
together somewhere else
hold on tight

Inside and out
we are everything
moving as one
we mean nothing

gasp and arch
close your eyes
never see your face
in an evening of lies

fade back and away
all a soft mess
never leave me side
and forget all the rest

i see your sole
so cold and gray
what good was pink
to you anyway?
