Darling Embers
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Darling embers,
A symphony glowing,
Flickering grandeur.
In the hearth of my thoughts,
They ignite secrets untold.
Whispers intertwine,
Mysteries enfold,
As memories unfold.
Embers dance to secrets known,
The secrets of the world.
Undulating contours,
Endless echoes,
Darling embers craving more.
Searing passion,
Burning smiles,
Embers of desire.
In the darkest of nights,
They kindle warmth,
Sweeping shadows astray.
Like autumn leaves,
Falling in quiet grace,
Embers flutter and trace.
Their heat embraced,
Like a lover's intimate gaze.
In the shimmering twilight,
Embers sway.
Yearning for immortal essence,
Burning with dreams untamed.
Within these glowing embers,
A universe unnamed.
Whispers of forgotten tales,
Vibrant echoes never to fade.
Darling embers, forever unclaimed.
Dropped lines scattered,
Like stars in the sky,
No traditional narrative,
Just fragments, floating high.
Words aflame,
Incoherent yet profound,
As darling embers surround,
The unspoken mysteries,
The artist's playground.
Those darling embers,
Painting dreams in hues unseen.
In their flickering ardor,
A universe gleams.
Lost in their incandescence,
A prism of stolen scenes.
Darling embers,
Where imagination convenes.
