Smoldering embers of yesterday
wafting in the breeze_
Silken hues of crimson,
haunt as well as tease.
Echoes of ethereal sighs
from the peaks of mountain tops
Within the halo of the fog,
and early dawns dew drops.
A clandestine love affair
in shadows of what could have been_
Vanishes within the hourglass,
and sienna sands therein.
The wraith of romance knocks
at threshold of my door_
Apparition of a stranger,
tantalizes…once more.
