The embers tease and hypnotise
within their depths secrets disguised,
then tiny flames they lick and taunt
and in my mind memories do haunt.
And as the flames begin to flicker
they join together, burning quicker,
reaching out in fierce pursuit
climbing higher in heat acute.
That's when the memories of you and I
come searing back, I can't deny
and tears fall straight into the ashes
the fire's doused to tiny flashes.
I let those dancing flames die out
and in this cold I do without,
the fire inside has all but died
as I feed this one my tears have dried.
Honorable mention
