Wow, what a beautiful romantic and passionate poem! I love the imagery-- lots of movement and visual silhouette images.

Also, I love the alliteration of the "S" sounds. Your words were carefully chosen with precision.

Wow, this poem blew me away. Thank you for sharing it.

A very well-written free verse poem. Candlelight means different things to different people. The most common perception is romance with someone we love or simply the electric power is off.

    Thank you so much for the excellent review and for all your comments supporting this poem. I am glad you thought it well written and hope you enjoyed it. I tried to keep it abstract and obtuse to allow it to be approached from multiple angles estory

Good morning, estory: As I read this poem, I felt the emotion in the words. I could see the couple moving quietly in the shadows, the soft touches, the flickering of the candle, giving off just enough light to feed the scene and add to the shadowy visions on the wall. It is all so lovely, the way you have written this. It feels lovely and it reads very well.

I admired your alliteration of "s's" and repeats of the "whisper" image, along with your vivid "fingertips" simile. You certainly succeeded in capturing an impressionistic image of lovers. Cheers- Joan

This is just lovely. I like all the 's's' and the suggestion of the light, candle, couple dancing. It all works beautifully. Blessings...

Nicely done. I think you achieved what you set out- an abstract piece open for interpretation. It's got enough to lead the reader but not so much as to force all to one experience. Once again, nice job!

What a beautiful free verse poem estory
I not only very romantic it had me feeling
I was dancing in the flickering candle light with my lover ( my hubby)
Thank you for the notes telling us this is a free verse poem of repeating patterns of words and sounds, lots of soft 's' sounds, and hazy images
