Two candles side by side
Atop a red candle stand
Two candles in orange light
Flames dancing in a gleam so bright.

Two candles in happy play
Giving their all to this day
Two candles in robust flame
As if calling out the other’s name.

Two candles in an eager rush
Melting under each other’s touch
Two candles bridge the gap
Now joined together in solid wax.

Two candles burning together
Heartbeats conjoined forever
The heartbeat of one candle
Sounds like the beat of the other.

Two candles in joyful abandon
Cherishing every strong moment
Making the most of their heart’s desire
To be always in united merge with the other.

Two candles in rapt union
Their flames well into the other
As long as they are with each other
The heat of their passion will flare.

Two candles weeping together
One trying to console the other
Hot tears coated in delicate wax
Falling in a soulful design of pain.

Two candles silently burn
Consumed by their own wax
Refusing to part from the other
Vowing to remain joined until the end.

Two candles an inspiring message sends
Of loving hearts and united spirit.
A touching gesture of symbolic love
A divine offering in prayer and worship
To the true light of the world shining in heaven.
