Tender embers . If only old flames could burn a new, The ashes of a fire I once had for you, If only I could re-ignite, To feel the warmth and see the light . Now long gone the time we burned, The clock has ticked, Only now, I’ve learned, Looking back is pain for me, Though years have past it’s agony . Questions I now ask my self, Like why I left ? Such a perfect wealth, A wealth of love and joy we share, To live my life in this despair . Why so long have I looked away, To turn from our nights, To turn from our days ? I kid myself I’m happy now, So why do I wonder why and how ? All this pain, This pain I’m feeling, From a time long ago, My wounds just aren’t healing, I’m burnt up and down, From my head to my toe; And the scars run deep, The love that we shared, Can still make me weep . So with all the love, That still smoulders away, Deep in my soul to this very day, I must nurture and tender and keep it alight, Till I find you my love, And my heart can ignite . When I find you and hold you, I’ll never let go, Flames burning anew, My heart all a-glow; But now till I find you, I’ll have to hold on, To this feeling inside, An ember, tender yet strong .

Impressive. I like the flow throughout the poem. I REALLY like the way you ended on a note of hope. Very well done. Inclan |
