Burning Passions
by Richard Reed Jr
copyright 11-06-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
After the cremation
He burned everything of hers
That burned him
Except his most beloved snapshot

Of

Their bodies clinging
Like the honey bee
To the clover blossom's flower

Touching bright eyes
Bringing silvery moonshine
To the silence of the night

Her kiss like monarchs
Brushing tips of lillies

The snapshot pinned against reality
Struck home the distance

Between

Life and death

Her figure in the picture held
His life in place
He could not move on

The nearby fireplace
Warmed nothing

Of

What use was it?
He stared blankly into the flames

And

Cremated her once again

Beautiful poem you have written here and is very sad as well. Actually made my heart ache after I read your poem. Either way, beautiful write.

Rich, I loved this poem! ^.^ Really, I did, I agree with every one else: this poem is sad and at the same time eerie, I guess I like that kind. My Grandma and Granddad were cremated and their ashes were scattered in Scarborough (I DO NOT live there!), any way this was a very touching poem, nice write,
Tasha ^^

Rich... I understand the imagery of the cremation of the second time. You write from your heart and soul. No matter how we lose love... sometimes it never dies. Greg Kis

Very good...very eery... I really enjoyed reading this piece, and the dark theme was certainly unexcited. This poem really leaves a print on my, and I can really picture whats accruing in this poem. You've improved greatly when it comes to writing dark poems, and I'm glad I read this one. The only flaw I found in this one, was that you should capitalize the work "passed" in the title. That last line really came out of no where, and it really gave this poem a meaningful and emotional poem. Great work, keep writing.

Hard to get this one out of my mind. It reads well and is a very sad and touching piece.


05-03-2006 Tiffany Forster    

Wow... I love the imagry in this piece, it gives the feeling of a soft summers day, and yet, it is so sad. I love the emotion in this piece Rich, my favorite has to be, " Her kiss as light as a Monarch; Perching on a white Lilly"
-hands him a golden compass-
Great write!

To close to home for me, like I said I am on my way to a funeral, I was just stalling, but I can feel your emotion in this one, this memory is still fresh in your mind, keep writting and get it out my friend, Great write, good job, thanks

Regina
