Forgetfulness Of Things Past

3WW...breach ember tentative

and all the resolutions

all those resolutions came asunder
with your tentative reapproach
and sweet remorse

the breach of trust forgotten
the pile of ashes ignored

with the last
remaining
burning ember
about to ignite

yet again into
another raging fire storm

    whoo-ee! Lovely Ma'am

    ps would you consider submitting a sapling for my spinney (hardly a plantation) at Sunday Trees? I would be most honoured if you have a tree-related poem to share.

    if we leave even one coal it can and often will erupt right back...and interesting metaphor as it could go a couple ways...

    Forgiveness should go hand in hand with forgetfulness!! It is only then the dying embers can be re-kindled into a blaze!!

    This poem is delish, and certainly rings a bell
    with me. You have painted the entire scenario
    in a gentle, human way.

    What a lovely and poignant poem -- quite descriptive of how love can be quite the roller coaster ride.

    So many ways to apply the wisdom herein to nearly every kind of relationship. This is subtle and multifaceted.
