Embers of Time

Listen to poem:
Embers of Time Sweet flickering embers of time rekindling morsels of flame held in the shivering embrace of a love that no loving could tame. The heat and the light slowly blur the embers of time’s discontent doused by the salt of lost tears in shadows flame dancing lament. John G. Lawless 4/15/2014
