Where Frozen Embers Still Burn

Where Frozen Embers Still Burn Canyons scorched over time by an overburdened sun lust A desolate lost soul still wonders blindly back On that past, the darkened prairie grass, and covered dust Where rain fell, love began, then turned icy black Confused, buried through time, recalling if you ever were mine Glimmers of gold discovered there that memories retain Scattered rocks, sharper than my mind, thoughts refined Landscape with solid features remains untainted in refrain Our love was silent born on golden morning’s mist Only a sad sun remembers everything that lasts Silence in the quiet open air recounts every little kiss Forgetting nothing in the embers of our souls that passed Cold winters ice etched us beyond simple lust Memory retains those golden laws of life divine Still keep their secrets silent born in trust Covers that distant morning when you were mine Entered Rhonda Johnson-Saunder's Poetry Contest on 12/23/14 "Your Best Romantic Poem of 2014" Original Post 8/18/14
