About This Poem
Burning Embers
Oh, Please don't mention burning embers,
words, that carry a fullness of spirit,
a heart of love that no one remembers,
loneliness engulfs me when I hear it.
So long I've yearned for beauty remembered,
that fills me with softness beyond compare,
for his loving touch, my lips have whispered,
across the distance, sent out with my prayers.
Confessing eternal love, imparted,
that did not land soft upon love's deaf ear,
filled with doubt, my Beloved departed,
while I, alone, am left standing right here.
Though days upon days may pass in sorrow,
Always, I'll yearn for true love's tomorrow.
