Love Poem: Fading Embers

Fading Embers

She ran into the darkness of the woodland
  The silvery moon cast shadows on the pathway
   She appeared like a magical mirage
    Her long white dress floated
     creating a fairy like vision
       She twirled in the moonlight 
        star dust glowing around her

  She lost her beloved
   He had fallen into the arms of another
    In her heart she felt no one could take his place
     Lost and confused she dashed for solitude
      and in the quietness of cold forest
       She recalls the heartbreaking words spoken
        The music, the thrill all the magic gone

   Lost never to make him her own
   Those magic moments gone
    She clutches the strings of her heart
    Words that hit deep in the soul
     The fire that once burned bright
      Now embers fading in the night.
       Fading dreams that did not last
           Time had run out to fast.
