Love Poem: Spark of Hope

Spark of Hope

Somewhere beyond the dying ember's light
A spark of hope will rescue me
Though the flames are now long since gone
The smoke still sets me free

An eternal flame now forever silenced
But a breeze of redemption blows my way
The darkness steals your name from my lips
But your memory still beckons me stay

The fire still burns within my soul
My breath filled with the ashes of rejection
The love I feel envelopes me whole
Til the heat has scorched my reflection 

Consumed by the flame that warmed my heart
As I burn but will not die
The smoke of regret fills the empty night
As it settles throughout this hollow sky

A spark of hope is all that I seek
To raise these embers once more
A gentle whisper will ignite the flames
Til again this fire shall soar
