The fur of Winter Sonata

Your memories quirk in the rays of 
    stagnant oceans,
    my yearning hangs on the tail of the dark 
    knight moon 
    as it illuminates the beats of your heart 
    racing through shadows.

    Let us dance all night long sneaking 
    through the rehearsal of a royal ball
    so echoes of your voice leave a trail 
    in my heart that my thoughts can't 
    comprehend. 

    I am lost in the awry beauty of your silence. 
    even when the waves haul your kiss from 
    its shores 
    the wind leads them back to me.
    our bodies are synchronously intertwined 
    with beautiful melodies.
    imaginations spread in wildfire, our 
    names written on the flames.
    squeeze me in a smile of scented bluebells
    soaked in the berries of your wrong I play 
    you right.

    In the winter sonata
    our eyes met in an estuary where our love 
    was sung by evening birds that flew 
    through the road of our sailing feet.

    What more can I ask of life when saturated 
    and adorned with tons of rare petals that 
    stick to me like galium aparine. 

    I could gaze at you through the spring of 
    snow and ruffle your hair until the tides ride 
    low.

    My love for you works 
    against the laws of 
    time, not fitting into a 
    scale we will soar like 
    the sirens of the deep blue sea. 

    My love, you have shown me ways to exist 
    amidst cheerful demons and I promise to 
    spend it all with you even in immortality. 

    Wrapped in a ballet of 
    cherry blossom, your 
    arms are like Fur in the 
    snow of winter sonata.

Oh my, this touched my heart with its soulful depth and evocative feelings.. You've woven this piece with so much elegant delicateness and with such smooth descriptions which resonate deeply with my soul. This has become one of my favorite poems now, so good to visit your page today, dear poetess! "Wrapped in a ballet of cherry blossom, your arms are like Fur in the snow of winter sonata", "our eyes met in an estuary where our love was sung by evening birds", and that beautiful opening too, wow!

You really are talented Tonye. Why the long break? In any case, so many good lines here and your use of metaphor and odd word pairings really works well
