Embers & I hear her Smile

FredPeyer

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

    Don't normally comment on love poems Fred... Yours came to my notice owing to it's position on the list.
    Nice juxtaposition of two aspects of a long term relationship.
    Found third stanza of Embers particularly true and poignant.

    • FredPeyer

      Thanks Dave, for replying anyway! Yes, that third stanza is kind of like I feel. When one has been together for nearly fifty years, one has to be grateful for at least a little bit of 'heat'.

      Two good ones Fred. I am putting a love poem up as well today.

              True love lives on within us. But what does it make of us.... all we have is to follow our honest emotion. Led by our poetic heart.
              A great emotional write Fred.
