Embers & I hear her Smile

Embers

           

Is what I feel deep in my heart

the love I pledged so long ago

the promise we will never part

said with joy and face aglow

 

or is the fire slowly dying

losing its ferociousness and heat

the soul resigned to silent crying

shuffling down a lonely street

 

now, remnant embers faintly glow

memories of fire fierce and hot

retaining heat to let me know

you still are all I ever sought

 

 

I hear her Smile

 

I heard her radiant

smile

floating across the dark

 

tasted her earnest

words

sweetly on my lips

 

felt her body

move

deep inside mine

 

saw her sweet

scent

in swirling color

 

love

a fabulous bouquet of senses
