Light My Shabbos Candle

Light my shabbos candle love
Call down the light that fills our love
And calls our souls to heaven.

For you are the wick and I am the oil
A candle aching to be lit
A flirtive dance of chase and surrender

Flickering reflections of His oneness
in the Kiddush glass
a well spring of wine and love.

Born of a bracha
In the womb of sunset past
Through darkness to compassion

Yearning for eternity
I seek to taste the wine of paradise
where sacred love meets forever.

I am the cloth
and you the two braided loaves of love
sweetly salted for sacrifice.

Escaping incense
Where lust and meaning
Dissolve in your essence

Reflecting my soul
reunited
in the depths of his oneness.
