I toss the embers
with my bare fingers.
Burning so sweetly…
I’d much rather ache
from the memory
of your fiery touch,
than just forget
and loose so much…
I need the bitterness
if it can keep alive
just one caress.
It’s only in the gloom
that light’s beauty
truly blooms…
I like the comparison you made with the hot Amber’s and the feelings you described! Great post!

Thank you, Gorgeous 🙂 I appreciate the ‘unpretentious’ mention more than anything else… As I have never truly studied poetry, my words just come from the heart, as it channels them to the keyboard. Your good words are always uplifting 🙂 xx
