Staring out these old, plain windows Their paint chipping, losing their luster I am instantly awestruck by nature's wonders As snowflakes fall, I shiver, reexperiencing childish delight My eyes began examining their every perfect detail. Gingerly, as a thousand times enveloped by the past, I swing open the door Inviting brisk winds to rush inside. Forcing shut my eyes, they began to prickle upon my face As snowflakes fell, slowly I lift up my hands flakes colliding with fingers I absorbed each one, surrendering myself allowing these wet kisses to romance my senses. With eyelids closed, I soon remembered In snowflake splendor you once pelted me with an incessant touch As then with fingertips light as feathers you caressed my lips I drew in enormous gasps attempting to regain composure and stop this thawing within. Tears began rolling down, numbing my cheeks as they solidified I brushed away the blanket of white my hair had collected. I gradually opened my eyes to discover I had weathered the blizzard of you. Now as the snowfall approaches once more, I'll keep striking flint In hope of reigniting the embers of a new spring's love There is now a puddle of you left to be evaporated at my doorstep and sun is now my ally. Until the thermostat drops to December, I shall see you in dreams... It seems you'll always remain my snowflake splendor. Max ;) 11/26/01 |
