Embers (poem) by George M Jackson on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on April 2, 2005

"Tainted ectoplasm from a heart long haunted by
A restless desire to be occupied with something
A bit more tangible than a past best left behind."
I love these verses and the not so subtle wisdom elicited within them. Thank you, George. Love and peace to you. Regis

these words aren't chained together, they came together willingly from the tips of your fingers, from your fantastic mind and i believe they are honored to be used in this poem

George,
This is a large serving of poetic pleasure.
Seems as though one would want to reach for the new, but at the same time swing slowly on the past.
Enjoyed this.

There is no yesterday or tomorrow... all we have is today and the who we are within it. There is no limit to who we can be today - apart from the unseens stigmas we place on ourselves and which colour our life's perspectives. I am so glad that you do "just have to write", because I so look forward to your sharp, black and white images which are profoundly stirring. If so the black and white, then how much more so when the deepening technicolour comes... always awed by your ability to give shape and expression to the lumpy, duvet-days of our lives... TY and Bless you, Kate xx

it seems you desire to let go of the past but can still feel the heat its simmering embrace ... my only advise is to build a new fire ...

the tone is sombre yet it sings out with reflection and focus ...
