Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

Ashes At My Feet

I walked through ashes on the floor...
They fell from a heart burned and torn...

It dropped like feathers from the air...
From a soul that that only cared...

I searched to find the one it owned...
Only to find myself alone... 

Rebuilt this heart and put it back...
And brought love to where it lacked...

My world is now complete...
No more ashes at my feet...

Sara Kendrick February 7, 2012 at 2:22 PM Enjoyed reading your work..I am sure that it is a very difficult to loose someone that one loves very much through either by choice or by death..You have penned the emotion very well in these couplets..Sara
