Sharon Gulley Poet Rhyme

Where Frozen Embers Still Burn - Part 1

The night sky is of winter's grey seasonal turn and
deep within my soul, a chill comes from where 
love's frozen embers still burn.

A cool breeze from across the sea does blow.
I know it was only yesterday, but I miss you so.
Living without your warm embrace, has left me
feeling alone and so out of place.

Tonight I snuggle to your memory and silently
pray you can feel and see that losing you has forever
changed me. Missing love's clinging attire, leaving only 
the embers of what once was a raging fire.

Although I am frozen in time, a small ember remains 
and each time it tries to burn, the flame is dowsed with
sliver of pain like ice, the same way it was, the night we lost
our dreams of a life. To live without you, how do I  learn?
When my soul and I are waiting, where frozen embers still burn.

J. R. Corbin September 16, 2014 at 7:48 AM Sharon, I am super impressed with your writing. You have a real gift for imagery. I think of poetry as a craft, and we all might see it differently, so this is JMO, but I enjoy reading your poems. Thanks.

I thank you for taking the time to read it and for commenting on it. I am trying really hard to prepare for a book of small stories of poetry to publish. I long to try my hand at it.
