He looked towards her,
His gaze softened,
From the shimmer of the lamp,
Her face illuminated,
A breeze gently flowed,
Wanting to touch the divine.
The flame flickered.
She drew in a breath,
Her palms she raised.
The glow to protect,
In a swift
Kneeling beside her
Gently his palms
Around hers melted.
With tenderness they watched
As the soft flame
Like their love
Kindled
Enlivened
Deepened
and became sublime.
