Embers Of Lenore

Love Bites Contest Winner 
coals
having served their purpose
                        are left to burn
the thrill of a matchstrike
the bold flames foreshadow
a total committment
                       to ashes

now forgotten
is it kindness
to pour a pail of cold water
over the embers slowly burning alone
ending the lonely vigil
when burning out was all that was left

i stand alone at the waters edge
but i don't enter
for some reason i smile
as i trace your name
in the sand

embers of Lenore
