Winter Love

Life does come a full circle. I wrote this poem last year around the same time, positively in hope for new love and the spirit of this poem has stayed alive with me...the spirit of winter....the spirit of love....the spirit of hope, vitality, joie de vivre, and all that JAZZ!!

and I realized that finding love isn't just about finding that someone special, it's about finding love within your self...figuring out how much exactly you're capable of....and this year taught me a lot of that....

this year, although still a few paces away from it's end, is undoubtedly going down my memory files as a brilliant example of what life can be!

This poem....is dedicated to MY 2010!!

In winter's sun, she's come undone

Her beauty has unfurled

Her lips, in love, enchanted, burn

Her tresses lie uncurled

In blissful rays of sun-kissed glaze

Her face it shines so bright

Her spirit soars in wondrous gaze

A feather oh so light

Her eyes they dance, like in a trance

So deep in love's embrace

And soft she sings at every chance

A ballad to its grace

But, her heart, pure, is still unsure

Like a dew drop on grass

What trespasses it will endure

And what shall come to pass

It's strains, like verse, a rhyme they seek

Oh where, oh where her love will be

Fool's Paradise

Curse be upon the winter's frost

Love's garden lies to rot in cold

Summer's glory has long been lost

This fabled passion has grown old

Passing days hardly stop to sigh

Or reminisce its past embrace

Rainbow beholds a smile gone wry

Mistaking it for gentle grace

Icy chills burn tears in its eyes

Creeping into the muffled screams

The earth's gone hollow in its cries

From jaded fears of dreamless dreams

Trespassers tread on virgin beds

With blackened feet on blackened flowers

And somewhere in the deepest reds

Creeps in the blue of painful hours

No saviour for fool's paradise

Has come this way and stayed a while

And yet it waits for one sunrise

To bear it through the winter's guile

Un-Explicit Love

I could be
The biggest wave in the sea
But there's nothing I could be
That makes you see me

And I'd outshine
The brightest star in the sky
But you'll never know why
It's for you, my light

And I could croon
In the most melodious tune
But you wouldn't know
It was sung for you

On a canvas spread
I could paint the deepest red
But it won't mean
The thousand words I've said

Because I just can't seem
To find a way to mean
The way I feel
And what you are to me

And so I hope
When I hold you close
Somehow it shows
It's you I chose!!
