Embers

I am the firewood
Burning in the blazing fire,
Ablaze in passion, aflare in dreams,
Burning away till
The embers are left glowing
In vigour, with the slipping life
I possessed still
Driven by the burnt emotionality,
The fire left within me dancing
Through my veins,
Till the visions I had nurtured,
The hope I had discovered
Turned to dust.
