An Ember Remembers
`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`
My love has not diminished.
I would not want to pursue, evoke
feelings of shadowed prey or some craving
to a fabricated addiction… I accepted that
you had grown weary and would not want
that I linger or impede future chances
at love or romance.
`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`
There is an ember
with a feverish desire
to burst into flames
at the simple mention
of your name.
It remembers…
the dance, the illusion,
the dream where all things good
existed in thoughts of you; everything
new was interwoven with the essence of you;
and wondrous passion irrefutably emerged like the
luminosity of sunrise continually on display.
Upon your arrival, eternity became mine,
and, in a flash, kaleidoscopic color
infiltrated mind, body, and soul.
`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`
You became my reason.
`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`*-*`
There is an ember
that hoped to fade away
in its assumption of
love’s retreat; rather,
it glows eternally
having never known
more profound
inspiration than that
sparked by you.
`*-*`*-*`*-*`
