Ribbons and Bows

Ribbons and bows tied to the flames
    Sparkling fireworks touch the sky,
Silver stars show shimmering smile 
    And I wish my loneliness goodbye.

Ashes of regrets have blown away 
    Colourful flames rewarded delight,
I no more sink in painful memories,
    Sparks of joy, have filled the night.

Flames of forgiveness, I embraced 
    And my heart has learnt to survive,
I cherish my life and celebrate
    Heat of desires shall keep me alive.
