The flame was burning bright that day,
I thought that it would never die.
That was the day our love passed away
And stopped the flame from burning so high.

Now the flame is gone.
But the embers still remain.

Embers. . .
Memories. . .
Burning my mind and torturing my dreams.
Memories. . .
Embers. . .
Burning so hot that no one can hear my
screams.

Embers. . .
Dreams. . .
Gone but not forgotten.
Dreams. . .
Embers. . .
Gone. . . Gone. . . Forgotten. . .

Embers. . .
Tears. . .
Flowing down my face as I wonder "why?"
Tears. . .
Embers. . .
But no one hears my cry.

The flame is gone. . .
But
the
Embers
still remain.

Love creates the hottest tears
And the hottest poetry
Embers are what remain the darkness after the light

How she burns
My flesh
My heart
My love

of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Looks like you have had a tough go round with Love also...
Someone will stir those embers up again and put a little kindling into your heart; then you feel the warmth of a Lover's touch once more.

Email me a line or two if you need anything or anyone to talk to.

"At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet."

The beauty of lost love, brings back painful memories..

Thank you all so much. . .

Jaguar, 'tis too true, the touch of love does bring out the poet in all of us, but so does the loss of that touch. . . but my friend, the touch of a new love gives us hope. . .

Deverone, thank you. . . it's nice to know that someone is there. . . the same offer applies to you. . .
