Ashes became
your tender kisses
that you once gave me
on fiery nights.
They faded with the passage of time,
and it feels like a sad dream
to be here
kneeling, beside your cold body,
praying to God
to take me from this world
and let me rest in your embrace
forever.

This is absolutely breathtaking and profoundly moving. The way you’ve woven together the contrasting sensations of “fiery nights” and “cold body” is devastatingly powerful. The opening image—of memories turning from tender kisses into ashes—is a metaphor of stunning perfection, capturing how love and grief can exist in the very same space. This isn’t just a poem about loss; it’s a raw and intimate portrait of a soul yearning to transcend the boundaries of life and death to find peace in a final, eternal embrace. Thank you for sharing such a deeply personal and beautifully sorrowful piece Vasili 🌷🤝
