There isn't anyone you couldn't love once you've heard their story. ~ Mary Lou Kownacki)
Forgotten Fire
Within the cold,
Gray remnants
Of a passion
Once out of control
Lay sundry
Forgotten embers
Beneath a veiled glow.
Though by some fate
If love's breath
Like a breeze
Should stir the ash,
Innocently
An encounter is risked
Love's rekindled
In a flash.
Obscure to most,
These glowing coals
Burn hotter
Than reckless fires
Of a thousand
Uncertain romances
Consuming heart's desire.
