Embers and Flames

 Embers and Flames


You are the fuel that ignites my flame

Yet one who keeps my blaze at bay

Your own eternal fire never ceases to fizzle out, for it has never once faltered 

The inferno within you rages on, somehow never engulfing the ones who surround you

A crimson phoenix that belts a fiery song, 

Echoing the tall chambers of your smoke-filled furnace

Someday may my flame burn as brightly as yours

As kindly as yours

As eternal as yours

Evergreens

  Evergreens As we waltzed into the night I laid bare in their everlasting light They held me with a delicate tenderness that no one else could provide I drowned in their deep amber eyes, mapping the gentle image of their soul Its bright yellow glow made it look as if it could never wither  Yet, there was a quiet blue that tinted the edges As I memorized every detail, I could only help but wonder  O’ how could a person have been made so carefully? So beautifully, So intricately We didn’t have to say much  We didn’t fill the silence   Nor could we- For their ever-light had been long gone And I could no longer study their soul, nor could I lose myself in their deep amber eyes All I could do was continue to stare at the map I had memorized  Holding onto the flickering image of ever-light Maybe, just maybe, my soul was starting to become tinted by that quiet blue too -Annaliese J
