Embers Of My Heart.
My heart is burned out,
Of passion, love and fervency,
My heart is burned out,
These things don't appeal to my interest again,
My heart is burned out,
But there are little glows left in me.
My heart is burned out,
I am not who I used to be,
My heart is burned out,
But I wish again to be me,
My heart is burned out,
I remember how much flames it used to carry.
All I have got left are embers,
The remains of the flames and fire,
Just the reminder and memory
That I have been on fire before,
A signal, constantly beeping and telling
Me to go back to who I used to be.
These embers, I want them to be flames again,
These embers, they are the tiny ropes that's not
Making my heart to be in shambles,
These embers, only dissembling my originality,
I can't keep up with it any longer,
I need to find me!
I will see to it that I am fanned to flames,
I will see to it that I burn aglow again,
I will see to it that these embers don't become cold,
I will see to it that I am set on fire again,
My passion, love and fervency must be revived,
I will see to it that I burn again.
These embers, I will not give up on
Trying to see that you are aflame,
I will not watch to see you die,
I will not watch myself lose all I have had,
If need be to go hard to make you aflame,
There I go!
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

I've once heard a saying that the biggest room on earth is the room for self improvement. Out of the so many hurdles that comes with day to day living, we often lose ourselves in bits that seem insignificant, but when compounded over time, we see how much of ourselves we've lost.
I hope to see myself aflame again this ember. I hope to stay consistent when I finally catch the fire again. Thank you for sharing.
I know the feeling Ola. Things change, life throws various events at us and we change as a result too.
I hope you’ll find your way back into that fire 🔥💙
My darling... Yaaaaay. Such a long time, Mo. Wow. So good to have you here. Thank you so much, my dear. Really appreciate that.
Yeah, been a while 😉 How are you settling in UK?
My dear...God is helping me. It wasn't really easy. I have no life haha. I am always busy as you know, bills won't wait haha. Let me chat you up on TG.
I’m almost never in TG! I have 1000’s of notifications there 😂 Whatsapp is better!
It’s been one hell of a year for me too. Working full time is no joke and even though I have 3 days long weekends, I barely have energy to do much outside of work either 🙈 At least I try to dance on a somewhat regular basis, but that leaves almost no time for writing sadly 🤷🏻♀️
Life evolves
Things changes
We move faster
And life offer to us sometimes what we don't expect
I love that last line you used there too...that's life...
I can relate...the truth is, life will always throw stones at us but one thing is certain that how we pick this stones and what we do with it matters. Getting back on our feet is the best way to laugh at the shackles of life
What we do with what life throws at us is what truly matters, no doubt about that. It's left to us.
this poem actually said it all. Life can sometimes be very difficult, but we just have to keep on struggling and never give up, until we get what we want.
Never give up...life isn't easy. A lot happens and it's left to us how we react to what happens.
That is part of us many times we are cn the burning flame but for situations or simply things that happen to us become embers that little by little we have to make them burn again to be the same as before and re-emerge as a phoenix, that with the help of close people is that we can achieve it and do not become ashes because there if there is not much to do, great writing friend ♥
Thank you very much my friend. Thank you for always taking the time to go extra. It means a lot.
It's a great reflection because we should not lose the flame and try to be the same as always, thanks to you for sharing ♥
