Your Ashes In The Wind Poem by Gerry Legister

Inside, I am the force of a radiant glow,
The running fuel of soft transformation flow.
I am the receiving embers sparked by you,
First, a stranger till the flames then grew.

Into a light shining at the touch of dawn,
with moonlight hue, to you, I was drawn,
By a faraway Island so welcoming and warm,
First, I thought you wanted to do me harm.

Darkness charmed her weaving barren twirl,
With the ancient spirit world clinging to my soul.
Voices come and go by the guardians of dreams,
In the winds of enchantment and illusions.

Then the morning glory overturn the gloom,
Like the heavenly rapture of mid-afternoon,
A romance with you in happy journal wrote,
The passing of times had a special antidote.

With the lust, we dust though scarlet tinged,
Till the thread of love began to come unhinged,
Rainy clouds arrived, and filled your eyes,
extinguishing bright hopes of twilight skies.

With the clones of night, mute shadows fall,
and I had no strength to tear down the wall.
By midnight all the energy and light had fled
Leaving the warm ashes smoldering instead.

Beautiful and delicate scattered in the wind
A flurry of kisses in my veins still reign,
With the pain that ache will one day cease,
The sting of loss shall bring comfort release.

You almost left me dead, as the ashes scatter
and should your ghostly stare again reappear,
I've vowed to surrender memories intrinsically
Until we are united again in that new destiny.
