Candles Gleaming

A poem inspired by the Willie Nelson song “Remember Me”

By Rasma RaistersPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Whenever the soft light,

of candles gleaming,

makes a bright glow –

I think of you, my love.

So long since we parted,

I light candles to remember you.

I know you are nearby,

as the candle flames softly sway,

your aura fills the room.

Remembering when you and I,

would sit by candle glow,

letting our love between us flow.

I know you love me still

and I will forever have sparkling memories –

as candles gleaming scent the room.

As the shadows grow long against the wall,

there is an aura so loving and warm,

I know you’re with me once more.

So by scented candlelight, I can dream,

feel your touch upon my lips once more,

knowing you’re somewhere up above,

your blue eyes sparkling,

while I can smile surrounded by memories –

while candles keep gleaming…
