Embers of Time

The azure sky embraces 
the beauty of our love.
It’s always you, forever you
I am dreaming of.

I feel your presence in
the cool floating mist.
I recall your tender touch
and how gently you kissed.

I see your picture hanging
on my bedroom wall
and I still feel warm embers
of our love through it all.

I think even in our separation
our deep love still grows.
From my heart to your heart
in heaven, my love flows.

Love it!! Bravo!! However did you intend the word in line twelve shown as "though" or instead "through" it all -- with the missing -r-? Just asking no offence intended.

Robert, thanks so much for catching my typo. Hate it when that happens. I always appreciate anyone letting me know if I miss it. I fixed it. Glad you liked my poem. Mahalo (Hawaiian for thank you), Connie

Connie, I have read your poem many times, each time letting it wash over me as I do when I read poetry. Your first line leaves me with a vision of Big Sky Country -- the Dakotas, or the Midwest -- and then I am brought to earth grounded in the presence of this powerful love -- with a simple "picture hanging on my bedroom wall". There is a bittersweet feeling to your last stanza -- I am concerned there is heartbreak. But it flows with such sweetness and such Faith, it is hard to feel sad...Sam
