Love Poem: Now Gone

Now Gone

The dying embers in the fireplace
Reminds me of satin and your silken embrace
Gently you slip off without a trace.

Cascading memories from dawn to dusk
Lingering scent of roses and musk
From life’s golden garden bed  plucked.

Sinking sun setting sea on fire
Leaving behind untamed desire
Now shimmering, now gone.
