Every ember of the fire <br />clouds a deeper, darker desire. <br />Orange glow fades as grey <br />upon our love another day. <br />I am but one in our hearts, <br />together we are torn apart <br />and nothing lasts another day <br />when - knees wearied - we replay <br />our begging words <br />as yet unheard. <br />You search again for my soul, <br />I am yours forever more. <br />Nothing warms this icy dread <br />more than promises kept. <br />Bathed in fire, this cold guilt <br />meets demons we'd thought killed. <br />Unknown secrets now reveal <br />nothing true in all we feel, <br />nothing broken can ever heal. <br />In fire's flames the warmth, we steal. <br />Encompassing our love grown cold <br />broken dreams take control <br />'till evetually we reluctantly pray, <br />in fires glow signalling summers day <br />driving winter into memory, <br />as love's embers reamain a dream. <br /> <br />2/5/08<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/embers-9/
