Embers
Within the embers of this night a memory lives on
of a time when the sun rose, lighting up my world
and all, because of you;
Summers of our past linger in my mind as winter comes anew;
I recall the fireplace talks and sweet surrenders,
of our blessed union;
You came to me, a sweet vision of something long sought
never did I think I could ever hold someone like you,
in fond embrace;
This reverie born in spring endures through every season
these dreams remained in the realm of grace,
so did our sacred love;
When the dawn arises to shed light upon the room,
I am left with the reality you left me...far, far too soon.
