" EVER LINGERING EMBERS "

No Love so bold, never growing cold
And so alive
With the nearness
Of Love's potentates
And powerful states
Where they do not spare
Heartbeats so alive
Fired with the nearness of you
And yet so far
Where
Kindred hearts wait
For our Loves tale
Is spreading
Like California wildfires
Burning hot with passions Love
Never to move
No matter how hot
The ravenous nature
Of this love so bold
Damages or creates
In the aftermath
Of its ever lingering
Embers......

For:  Cherie  ( my wildfire )
