Only in candlelight can I see you.
Only then can I lay eyes on your perfect form.
Only then can the glinting emeralds
in your eyes cast their spell on me.
Only by the candle flame can I hear you.
Only then do you speak and the flame flickers.
Only then do you blow a kiss through the flame
onto my lips unseared – then I know you’re real!
Beautifully penned, Daniel. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Fantastic!
There’s a spiritual side to this I think you caught. Really creative writing here. Nice job!
Das ist wirklich ein Meisterwerk, Daniel!
Like Tim, I appreciate the spiritual side of your writing. I understand the candlelight as a metaphor for our own inner light. The light in our hearts allows us to see other persons like they really are, beyond their appearance, social roles or status symbols. Brilliant!
Ein Meisterwerk? Awww, ich danke dir so sehr, Elke! Warten Sie bis zu diesem Wochenende, Sie werden in der Tat das Eröffnungskapitel zu einem Meisterwerk haben. Dass ich posten werde. Und dieses Gedicht hat mit den beiden Charakteren dieser Geschichte zu tun.
Thank you so much, Elke!
