Embers

Within the embers of this night a memory lives on of a time when the sun rose, lighting up my world and all, because of you; Summers of our past linger in my mind as winter comes anew; I recall the fireplace talks and sweet surrenders, of our blessed union ; You came to me, a sweet vision of something long sought never did I think I could ever hold someone like you , in fond embrace; This reverie born in spring endures through every season these dreams remained in the realm of grace, so did our sacred love ; When the dawn arises to shed light upon the room, I am left with the reality you left me...far, far too soon By: Mystic Rose & L. Milton Hankins

WoW! Mystic, Two people wrote this? I can’t tell. You and Milton wrote such a well-written about two people who deeply in love.You two write well together. I look forward to reading more collaborations from you two in the future. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Credit to you both mystic Rose and Milton, this collaboration evokes so much emotion of personal loss, but more so a deep appreciation of what you once had, even if indeed, the moment went all too briefly, cheers David

Thank you for your kind visit David. I believe many people have experienced loss at some point or other in their lives. The memories are what keeps us going. :)

Mystic, you have done such an awesome job. It's impossible to separate out whose is whose, and that I think makes for a splendid collaboration. Thank you! Thank you! Let's do it again soon. You are a pleasure and a joy to work with.

Thanks Milton, it is usually difficult to work as a team because as poets we are used to working alone, but you facilitated the whole experience. So Thanks :)
