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
