Homesick Love Song

by Anastiscia Chantler
(Whitby, Ontario, Canada)

In your place 100 candles burn
A salty sweat drips from my yearn
Flickering flames spill heated tears
Anticipation haunts me as time nears
The real need to feel again the real being of you
My mouth, eyes and heart all bleed a deep crimson hue
100 live flames impossible to resist
All you've given me burns deep with every bite, lick and kiss
Hopelessly drifting in the memories of a ghost
Which beckons me to surrender, for you are my immortal host
100 candles blaze through night's eyes
Dancing around each other, shooting stars to the skies
You make it so easy to get closer to heaven
You make it so easy to feel whole again.
