3WW given words:
decaying ember fragrant
Midweek Motif - love
Prophetic of his fear in those
dying moments of regret he could
only lament pulsating embers
decaying in his senses
Clamoring tenaciously for a hold
it sustained soft whiffs of fragrant
thoughts of love that ran
through in his hurting heart
Had he the strength to overcome
Had he the resolve to sink his pride?
It could not be a moment better!
He must muster his strength to
rekindle the heat of the past few days
still simmering of Happy Valentine
Have a heart!
He could discern the faint insistence

ReplyDeleteof love left over from former days.
I liked the line "Had he the resolve to sink his pride?"
ReplyDeleteHaving that extra bit of love from before and pushing on is a win indeed
ReplyDeleteA lovely poem of persistence!
ReplyDeleteDid he live? The cat, I mean. I'm sure that the love did!
ReplyDeleteNice contrast between the decaying embers in the first stanza and the simmering of Valentine's Day. The cat looks a bit angry to me.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautifully deep and eloquent!
ReplyDeleteuh oh...sinking pride?..hmmm
ReplyDeleteLove this prompt mashup...and the sound crunch of "must muster." :)
