Excellent Free verse Natural Light : Candlelight by estory

Whispering figures Dance in the shadows Where a candle Flickers Into music, Movement In the shadows, Shapes: A woman's body In a man's hand Where shadows dreaming lightly Seem almost silent, Still; A charcoal sketch of lovers Speaking softly In whispers of light, Silhouettes embracing In a pale tongue of flame Like fingertips On skin In darkness Whispers The light, Flickering, wavering In silhouettes Embracing A whisper of light On the pale wall, Dancing Author Notes This is a free verse poem of repeating patterns of words and sounds, lots of soft 's' sounds, and hazy images that suggest an impressionistic sketch of lovers in a dark room. Hints and impressions make up the beauty here, and I wanted to keep it abstract enough to be interpreted in many ways by different people. estory
