Embers

EMBERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the still of the night, a smoky haze glows bright, To the ash urn's delight, a dance of shadows takes flight. Tendrils of smoke swirls & twirls, a celestial waltz unfurls, A duet of fire and air, a sight beyond compare. Weaving in a delicate trance, a dreamy sight's cadence,5 Mesmerized tango of fiery romance, in a spiral-like dance. The air is filled with a sultry allure, as cigarette burn pure. A dance of two in shadows deep, bond of smoke to keep. The flames flicker & sway, like dancers in the moon's soft ray, A melody of ashes drifts, in the quiet of the night's mist.¹° As the cigarette burns slow, its vapours in a graceful flow, A tango of light & shadow, in the urn's silent hollow. Watch as the smoke spirals high, painting whispers in the sky, Let the night be a canvas wide, like a child's blank mind, For the pas de deux of smoke & light, in it graceful delight.¹5 The waltz of vapours tonight, serenade starry sight, A dance of beauty in the hazy night, enfire the cigarette's might. A ballet of ephemeral grace, in this hidden sacred space. For in this moment's fleeting sigh, a beauty that will never die, The flames of a lit cigarette, in the urn's solemn silhouette.²° VICK MANUEL POETRY {VMP} FORM: Rhymes Copyright ©?24th March 2024.
