Love Song

I’ll tell you why I kissed your eyes,
If you promise not to snore:
I want to put the candles out.
The darkness hides the door.

Let me go and put them out.
One moment and it’s done.
I’ve no desire to leave you, but
The wax is starting to run

Together with other moments.
I want these candles to last,
Because their light is perfect, and
Those pools of wax are vast.
