Embers

as I sleep

the embers of your

flaming and desiring heart

brand my skin

slowly seeping into the bitterness

and loneliness of the blackness

of my own heart

if I could only find your love tonight,

the embers may lay to rest,

burnt out in the nothingness within

alone and heartless

I lye, 

dead to the world

and to your touch

I never wanted anything else

but you,

but the burn of your embers

is catching the rain of my world

on fire

"burnt out in the nothingness within
alone and heartless
I lye, "
A honest and direct poem. I like the above lines a lot. I like realistic poetry. Allow the reader to learn and understand the writer's thoughts. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

Profound and a powerful uniquely written poem. I liked how you reinerated the title within the overall theme of this great poem. Great job. :)
