Ashes Of Old Lovers Poem by Susan Lacovara
Ashes Of Old Lovers
There it laid
what remained
of your snuffed out cigar
Just lying there...
Left behind...
Like me...
Like what we had...
Like what it was
When it was us...
The air, stale..
The ashes, coal like
burned out dust
Piled purposely
a sure and sudden demise
There, before my eyes
The ashes of old lovers
To be dumped...
discarded...emptied
rinsed way...
But first, I light it...
Set fire to it's end
inhale, and hold the thick
unforgiving smoke...
Drawing deep
the pungent pleasure...
And exhale...
REALLY a nice pretty poem, Thanks for sharing. Adding to my favorites: -)

One of the wonders of poetry is that the brilliant ones, the immensely well created and deeply felt ones, Never grow old! This one, that you so emotionally and poignantly wrote, won't get old either. Great poem!

I think if I was to compile a poetry book this would be one of the first entries. Great work in the first reading and I may return for a second helping soon.
