You've captured the essence of womankind, Kate. Whether deifyed or defiled, through the ages we have carried the ember of our species. Excellent write!
Sensational creation! I love the imagery and the essence that lingers on! Sensual and mysterious expression as love can be. Thanks for sharing the flames of your talent!
This is one of your best, just enough said, a good balance of words and images with good clarity so that the images don't overwhelm, but help visualize. The first verse is perfect.
Kate you are amazing. I can understand this so well. Traces of love are like those scented candles, some only give off a lot of scent when you do blow them out. This is a great write and it really makes the reader think about love and the after affects of love.
This is really good and spiritual. Even when your gone, your presence remains, I like that...

This is so excellent.
"Put me to the flame
and my essence is released:
Loosely curling strands,
the sweetly-perfumed haze
that rises sensuous from
a newly snuffed-out wick. "
No one could forget ya Kate!

I like the way you compare yourself with intangibles: fragrance, prayer, smoky haze... essences, which as you say at the end, linger on...
