This is something I will do ;
Steal a candle at night to write you a poem.
A wind crept in through my window
It landed on my Chin and I smiled.
My mind danced like the stranded candle flame:
Happiness!.
I remembered the flicker in your eyes.
Magical! I was entailed. Many faced one.
Yes! Many faces you’ve got each new.
I kissed you. Not with my lips;
My heart did. And yes it was Magical!
My world is a Metallic Frame.
Behind bars, my slender arm reached out.
My slender arms were not long enough.
Like wax, It melted.
Hoping to regain my form on a shapeless candle stand.
