Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Fading From a Distance

We held the ash of paling revery 
how fast, through shadows blowing out the night
but then, it faded; lost in  times remote
in places where I had been known to you.

But flash and fade, the breach of this union
erased me from glint of  ardor that once 
embraced a wise and knowing vow; entwined
with bliss, laughter and the intensity
of profound hope you plucked  from the earth--
a kind that was difficult to siphon root to stem.

God knew it hurt... but I am learning still
to have my soul ignite and heal away
