Bathing by Candlelight

Is there anything more romantic,
More sensuous,
Than bathing by candlelight?
I decided to treat myself tonight,
And that's exactly what I did,
I lined the bathtub 
With candles of varying color and size,
Then I ran the water
To the perfect temperature,
With rivulets of steam,
Rising up to the heavens,
I turned on some quiet music,
And turned out the light,
Engulfing the room in dancing shadows,
Then I broke the stillness of the glass-like top,
Stepping into Paradise,
And being carried away to far-off lands,
Bathing by candlelight.
