Embers and ashes, sweet-smelling dust
|
are all that remains of a fire that burned
|
beyond my control
|
Embers and ashes, softened by tears
|
A bitter reminder of the leaping flames
|
in the depths of my soul
|
Embers and ashes, a token sacrifice
|
A visitation and leave-taking
|
A silent demand
|
Embers and ashes, irrational longing
|
for just belonging
|
to someone I don't understand
|
Embers and ashes, transparent schemes
|
Haunting dreams recur to hide my way
|
to guide my way
|
Embers and ashes, a book of sighs
|
A volume of highs, gone in a day
|
Embers and ashes, drift into the past
|
Float on a breeze, just out of my grasp
|
Embers and ashes stain my bed
|
Nobody's dreams were fit to claim
|
Your face stains my every dream
|
Only the embers and ashes remain
|
