Candle's soft
golden glow
flutters fragrance
warming in whispers
of soul silence stilled
Moving our memories
from lingering shadows
into this tender-touched
radius of radiance ~ all
around these Candles'
Soft Golden Glows

As you light the dawn
As you light the love deep within all our lives
A candles warm soft glow is the dance tonight
Filling our souls guiding our heavenly roles
Feeling our love, our light is deep inside
The soft candle light of our inner hearts and secret life
Oh, I have to tell you
The soft animation with your graceful and tasteful words
In the shape of a soft lightly aglow flicking candle
Oh, this is the candle of our immortal soul
If you see deep inside the window of your golden glow
You see inside the window of your soul
Bravo as always Gennelle
Your heart and love embraces all of us to be one
To share and live our love as the power of the sun

Visually stunning in form and message. Beautifully written! Stare into the flame--be it candle, fireplace or bonfire--is staring into the abyss. The light dances and hynotizes. We watch the final destruction of the wick, the stick, the log, and see our own demise. It is like watching meteorites fall--gone in a blaze of glory--and hope our future holds the same end for us. Who really wants to go out with a whimper?

Excellent
It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Your fine poem, guides -
Excellent in content and form. I love the way your words form a candle holder. Let your light shine for all of us to see.
Best regards,

oh, lovely! Warming to read.. and I adore the way you've formed the lines into a candle shape and added the little flame at the top Your words reminded me of a part in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse when Mrs. Ramsay lights the candles, and all comes to order and peace.

Wonderful
Visually shaped and perfect with muted animation it approaches a reality never seen in real life! It is due to the perceived fragrance in the wax of that candle as it enters a reader's consciousness riding the uncanny ingenuity of each phrase. This little poem can be called truly inspired.
It's a keeper! --Dee

Nice, short, sweet, and warming. Keep writing. Bon

flutters fragrance
warming in whispers
of soul silence stilled
Moving our memories
from lingering shadows
I'm so touched by those lines.
The flickering candle light also brings in the mood of the poem.
One light, one truth, one say.
This poem was beautifully written. It's being added to my favorites!

As I have one in a glass burning beside me...it is ethereal. One tiny flame can penetrate so much darkness...

what is it about candle light that is so soothing? no wonder so many people use them for prayer

Dearest Gennelle
Candles, being symbols of warmth and cleansing and light, are effectively used to spread love and LOVE - within a "radius of radiance", souls connect on all levels: vertically and horizontally. The candle is an artefact par excellence, but also creates a highly spiritual - and tactile - experience, the ultimate being creating a Light and Life within darkness: hence candle ceremonies performed by certain religions and professions.
Well done, Poetess. An effective visual here, in a category what I call atmospheric poetry.

With the flame on top it looks like a jar candle. Very cool effect! I like the words, they seem so warm. You definitly bring the reader into the feel of the poem. It feels like I'm surrounded by candles by the end of this. This was just lovely.

Beautiful
Hi Gennelle:
I can see and feel the warm glow of the candle when I opened your poem. The visuals are excellent and you have a very nice touch with the words and the pictures you used to amplify your beautiful write. Thanks for sharing it with us and in particular, for sharing it with me. I appreciate this good write. Bill -
Creative and serene!
Quite a different poem from you, but oh, what a lovely light you cast here!! This is so full of glowing imagery and the alliteration - it is quite astounding. Very creative use of words and the flame - I just love this poem and the serene quality about it!! -
Your poem with the flame looks like a candle in a jar, very clever! I like the alliteration of each line, it is calming to me, and the images and ideas are also very calm. The overall effect is serene and lovely.
I apologise for stealing your points, when I clicked last time the site crashed. I hope it works this time!

ohh, this looks so nice.....like a concrete poem. I like how it sounds too. I love the flicker at the top of the candle. This has been done so nice.....great job. Cheryl
