I Still Remember Leave for me one burning ember, from the fires of December Sparks of life so long remembered, one sweet night that never ends Into time my mind keeps tracing silhouettes of your embracing Threads of love still interlacing cherished lovers, dearest friends Keep within your heart a haven, softly cradled, fully laden With a vision overlaid in flickering glows from hearth of stone With each footstep o’er the trestle into life my heart had wrestled In a wooden cabin nestled on a hillside, all alone Silken skin shone unencumbered, in the glow of passion under Waves of joy and sweetest slumber, under roof of heavy snows Frigid winds in winter bluster, all strength that they could muster Could not chill the simple luster of a love in ember’s glows Undertow’s of life decisions, building walls of wide divisions Never took away the visions still engraved within my mind No remorse or tear-swept sorrow, in the space of my tomorrow Though we both may sometimes borrow from the joy we left behind Still I clearly can remember, yearning years we’ve been apart Leave for me one glowing ember, burning ever in your heart Elizabeth Santos |

SweetLizzieLady~ This has such a quiet, soft and personal beauty~ 'Leave for me one glowing ember, burning ever in your heart' And ... blow that ember into a warming glow of remember often~ Just soooo lovely with the internal rhyme that makes it a beautiful read-aloud piece~ *HUGS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
