"Tapers"

      "Tapers'

She loved him before

She knew his name.

The sight of his face...

Ignited... a flame

.

Drawn like a moth,

Into the warm fire.

He looked her way...

And the flames went higher.

He was a man that;

Burned candles at both ends.

Felt her sweet love;

And was sucked in.

In memory of you honey.

Just my way of wishing him a happy anniversary. No out on the town anymore on this date. Kathie

This is a fantastic tribute to him Valentine. I'm sure he is smiling right now, and is very proud of you. Love is something that makes this world a much better place, and your poem proves it. It can bring out the best of us, and can even reveal to us a light we may not know we have. This is very touching :)

[Valentine]

Dan, today is our wedding anniversary. Kathie

I really like how you compare him to a candle burning at both ends.

[Valentine]

When I first met him, that is exactly how he was. Kathie

[Samaira]

That is beautiful.

True love has a reverential quality about that sets it apart from your common love affairs of the heart that lose their flame. And even if the flame returns, it will never be the same as the truest love affairs of all!

Kath(ie)(like mama wrote it), I salute you and your husband Woody(ie?)

[Valentine]

Raj. Woody is a poet on this site that you would enjoy his writes. My husband was named LEE not Woody..Kathie try his writing, it is wildly funny.

[Perkele.7885]

Kathie and Lee...Now, I have it right! Whew!

[Valentine]

Ron, when I met him he was a gambler, traveler, ladies man, etc. He was good looking, but I thought him just a playboy. Kathie
