Together

An evolution of love in free verse poetic form.

Ashes of old lovers
Faded to black
Like memories void
Of feeling

Ashes of old lovers
Folded themselves into
My fears
My misgivings

Ashes of old lovers
Were everywhere
And nowhere
Together

Ashes of old lovers
Were burnt risks
Taken with strangers
In distant denial

Ashes of old lovers
Were leftovers
From storms of passionate
Turmoil

Ashes of old lovers
Led me to this place
Grounded in love
Where stars shine

Ashes of old lovers
Are burned away
By the fire in my heart
For you
