All Comments on 'Final Embers'

like the last breath taken,

a very deep and touching poem

The last spark of love dies....

Sorrowful. yep. I don't think love dies. It just gets pushed back in the subconscious. Ocassionally we need to pull out the box, look at it, and remember.

Nice Vix. Glad to see you again.

A highly moving and emotional piece.

sad resignation comes through beautifully in your eloquent style. So much melancholy. Thank you. LJ

into my mind are visions of embers that once were a fiery blaze, yet smoldered such as this. A cathartic piece, not only for the author, but also for the reader. Thank you!

A poignant metaphor fraught with sorrowful lose and pain.

A poignant metaphor fraught with sorrowful loss and pain; is the way it should have read.

Making the comparison between life and love and a dying fire makes for a powerfully painful image. Just hope I can manage a lifetime bonfire!!
