Poem: "The Burning"

"The Burning"

If subtle light
from death of former day
threaten to overtake
the oncoming night
lesser souls will fail
and weaker hearts
falter in their noble
resolve

A final candle burns quietly
in the empty space we longed to share
though you are far away
your beauty is etched in my cold heart

And I shall wait here
for you
as your last kiss
lingers still
on my desperate mouth

The only thing you left behind
was this note:

"The beauty of the stars may fade
and oceans rise and die
but my love for you
will always remain."

Until you come back
the burning of my restless heart
will go on
someday, leading you
home
in my arms again forever.
