Colossus - March 25, 2001

The glowing candles cast a shimmer
throughout the evening,
as the shadows dance
against the white walls.

A splash of ouzo
sends the sizzling flame
jumping upwards,
a whirling frenzy
of liquid fire.

Time passes quickly
as the ebb and flow
of conversation
swirls around the room.

Too soon the merry company parts
only to meet again 
some day.
