February's Warm

The shower out there fully clothed in snow,
An a.m. stays, so will I remember —       
A kiss let go in cold air, heaven white — 
The very look of you through aspen boughs,
How midnight blew while icicles scattered —                                        
Our first hours quiet under snow's brief time,
There melting in snow, our bodies, thinning, 
Us giving in our heat into Winter —
I shook myself on brass; yourself was mine.
We've made baby snow angels imprinting —
               Early morning chimes.

Paige, this sonnet glows with a quiet, melting intimacy. The contrast of warmth and snow, of fleeting time and lasting impression, is so beautifully rendered. “I shook myself on brass; yourself was mine”--that line lingered in me like breath on frosted glass. This is winter love at its most poignant.

Wow you have a way with words dear sweet paige, uniquely you and so descriptive with such deep emotions too! I absolutely love especially the lines “ Our first hours quiet under snow's brief time, There melting in snow, our bodies, thinning, Us giving in our heat into Winter —” love that! A poem worthy of all the accolades. Sending you light always
