Where Frozen Embers Still Burn - Part 1

The night sky is of winter's grey seasonal turn and deep within my soul, a chill comes from where love's frozen embers still burn. A cool breeze from across the sea does blow. I know it was only yesterday, but I miss you so. Living without your warm embrace, has left me feeling alone and so out of place. Tonight I snuggle to your memory and silently pray you can feel and see that losing you has forever changed me. Missing love's clinging attire, leaving only the embers of what once was a raging fire. Although I am frozen in time, a small ember remains and each time it tries to burn, the flame is dowsed with sliver of pain like ice, the same way it was, the night we lost our dreams of a life. To live without you, how do I learn? When my soul and I are waiting, where frozen embers still burn.

Sharon, I am super impressed with your writing. You have a real gift for imagery. I think of poetry as a craft, and we all might see it differently, so this is JMO, but I enjoy reading your poems. Thanks. Jim

This is very lovely, Sharon. An appropriate take on frozen embers that still burn. I loved all the poem, especially the captivating 3rd stanza. // paul
