A different edge to the world.

Cold Flames    -   07 Oct 19

Flames touch the dreams
Launch them into life
Resurrected ashes
Blown back to the fire
By the wind in the morning
Night passed
The way of the distant snow
Faded cold dreams
Warmed by the transient
Flames dancing in secret

.
The fires of a day gone by.

Funeral Pyre

A short poem to mark the year coming to its end.





Funeral Pyre  -  27 Nov 15

Ashes in the afternoon sky
From the pyre of the year
November draws to a close
Old images and dreams
Consumed in the flames





From the embers a phoenix rises.

Fires Of The Old

A little poem about how old Love stories end to be replaced by new Love songs.





Fires Of The Old  -  19 Jan 15

Sifting through the ashes
Of a fire long dead
Tired memories unwanted
Fed to the flames
To warm new memories
Just forming

In a different place
A spark glimmers
And flames glow
Growing not consuming
New memories shine
With their own light





Songs are there for the singing.

 

Ashes In The Sky

Another of the little Love poems which, even though small, took some time to grow ~ I think it is now complete.





Ashes In The Sky  -  31 Jul 13

The ashes of forgotten Loves
Drawn across
The sad sky
By a careless wind
Grey ash clouds grey sky

Tears wash my eyes
Clear my vision
I see new Love
Around me ~ surround me
Within me

Wondering how these will come together in the end.
