My Lady

Oft I’ve come upon her And caught her unaware: Bare limbs flashing in the light, And saw a rosebud blush Upon her snowy cheek. But cold she turns And wastes me With her Arctic chill. Ye knowing I’ll stay and stay To see her blush again. Deep within the icy night, As surely as the seasons turn, Does she to me. I dare to touch… And find it warm. I know beneath her frosty gaze I have not long to wait Before I hold her rich embrace, For her warmest smiles tell me My Lady Spring is in the air.

Take in the blushing breath of spring... As ladies dare... O lady fair... Leave behind old winters chill... Remember not its icy sting... But lose thyself as songbirds sing... Of the coming of the new born spring... Dance O lady fair... Dance as only ladies dare... Tee...hee...

This was written on a dare after a man got tired of the dark & spooky poems I prefer. He told me to write something about nature. I don't like it, but it's won a few awards.
