Poetry / lover's fire
Before lovers split
Their flames were like wild fires --
Yet there may come a day
When those very flames
That ingited your heart
May become dying embers.

It reminds me of a haiku – very simple and to-the-point, and it focuses on a single image. The phrase “flames were like wildfires” seems a little redundant. Maybe their love (or the lovers themselves)is like wildfires? I would also get rid of “may” in the last line because you already said it earlier. Even though it’s a short poem I think you could trim it up to make it really concise and powerful.

Good, I can’t really find anything to criticise. I understand it well, theres a considerable amount of talent behind the piece.
Short, sweet, to the point. Not much else needs to be said.
I understand the concept of the dying love/relationship. It’s short and sweet but I’m not too keen on the use of “your” and the second line. It is saying they “were” in love when in reality I think you mean “are,” it’ll make the line sound more alive. Plus, in the first line you say “Before they…,” so it implies that the lovers are still together. ”Your” to “their” and add “s” to “heart.” You might want to consider keeping it all in the same tense. Nice piece, it’s refreshing in a way.
This is a pretty short poem, but nice nonetheless. Is this it or are there more lines to it? It’s a nice poem. You can put this in a poetry book, but if there’s more to the poem, put it in. I hope this is enough of a review; you didn’t ask for more information for me to put in so…
That ingited youe heart
youe-your,correct?
ther-there?
Not trying to be picky,im just telling you:)
Yet ther may come a day
i think this is one poem that does good being short. some poems just aren’t up to par, when it comes to that.
Well,maybe it could use a like or 2,but its decent.

Nice,right there,i liked it.
It wasn’t bad but it could have been more original. No offense. I kind of liked it. But I feel as if I’ve read it (and probably written something similar) many times before.
