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.
