Embers

Love is wild, love is bold
Love is something we cannot hold
Like the fires that warm us in the night
As dying embers grow dim and white
Crumbles into ashes and dust at the slightest breeze
Love can become as cold as snow, cold as ice.

Author's note:
This was inspired by L.E Modesitt, Jr's book, 'The Order War'. The book 
had a very interesting love ballad, out of which I took the first line 
of this poem. I know, it's technically unethical, but I couldn't think 
of a better substitute. After all, it was all because of that 
particularly line that I even wrote this in the first place ^_^'
