Fading ember

in the quiet of twilight
we found each other
like two shooting stars 
colliding in the vast expanse 
of the night sky
our love
a fleeting flame
danced with the winds of time 
igniting our souls with an intensity 
that burned brightly but briefly
we savored the fleeting moments
knowing that our love 
was but a fading ember 
in this infinite space of time
and as the dawn approached
we parted ways
our hearts heavy
with the bittersweet ache 
of a love too beautiful to last

  1. Oh My, This one reached out and touched my heart from the very first lines!! Loved every line but especially the very last line:
    “a love too beautiful to last”!!!! As they say, Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all!!! 😊😁💖💕🌹
