Ashes Poem by Barbara Nixon
Ashes
Light extinguished, glimmer defeated,
spread across my heart, a sacred scar
the oxygen of time a cliched healer,
locked in a cage my joy hath retreated.
Ashes of you in every word that I mutter,
shadows of you held captive in my mind
memories of oneness, complete sublimeness
butterfly in Spring, glistening wings all aflutter.
Butterfly has flown, my heart cannot reason,
darkness surrounds my veil of tears,
hoping in vain, void of logic or sensibility
the flutterer will return another season.
unusual rhyme scheme....on the abca pattern. dont come accross this aften. It places a self imposed constraint on the poet and clearlt shows poetic ability. constextually....well.....its xmas time and new yera...yet the sleet and dark weighs heavy. lovely blessings

void of logic or sensibility the flutterer will return another season. full of hope and it is well expressed..
