The fire’s embers softly burned
While for sleep, my body yearned
But to nap, I do disdain
For I will dream of her again

Her, with eyes that sparkle brightly
Cut you down to size, politely
Cheeks of rose and flaxen hair
Give men cause to stop and stare

Her, with all her pleasant charms
That beguiles and then disarms
Brings the strongest man to knees
The beauty of her is all he sees

Her, who captured my heart and soul
Emotions that I can’t control
Have left me bound and weak of thought
Useless to the life I sought

So, I dare not sleep, for in my dreams
I will hear my own heart’s screams
Screams that take away my breath
And, I fear, will be my death.

That was a terrific write! So much so that I am taking the time to address a little discrepancy.

Might I make a suggestion? I do believe that the title "Her" should be "She". i.e.
"Her, with eyes that sparkle brightly
Cut you down to size, politely"
(Her cut you)

~ She, with eyes that sparkle brightly
cuts you down to size, politely
(She cuts you...)

I truly enjoyed your poem! ~ the rhyme, rhythm and vividly descriptive writing!

Love & Light,
Earth Angel

*smile*

I believe this is the first time I've read you, and I very much enjoyed.

Great flow, and a sweet tribute to love.

I'll be reading you again.
