Candle Light Dinner Poem by Sadashivan Nair

Once invited by her,
To candle light dinner,
Captivating smile in her face;
I accepted 'Oooom! It's OK,
Was looking for a festal break';
Came the evening,
And we were,
At the table candle lit;
Candle kindled,
Melting self to illuminate us;
Watched each other,
Face to face;
The candle in midst of us;
Perhaps was the first,
Step of ladder to blend together,
In one knot;
Rise of romantic emotion,
Witnessed by lit candle,
Billowing flame in inebriation;
Unaware of melting,
To extinction its own entity;
Blinking flame gestured,
'Agni' a fire ritual of candle,
Endorses your togetherness;
