Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

A Winter Wish

Pen pals from the very start 
scented paper and feathers of pink 
inside a pre-kissed envelope of white 
You, writing about the taste of Trinidad 
by the sweet-burning smoke of a pipe blend,
me, whispering to you about the beauty of a snowflake  
as it comes swiveling down from heaven; 
Letter writers of ancient times, hoping for love's arrow  
You, singing a Christmas Parang in a Trini voice of honey  
me,  with my faux fourrure and Christmas boots of leather;
Lovers yet to be my love but if this year I get my winter wish, 
I will meet you by the Pigeon Point,   on December 29th, 
with a glass of rum in one hand 
and a plate of festive rice on the other 
Together we will melt the last glacial memory 
from our burning waiting hearts.

Marikate Kingston December 28, 2021 at 9:19 PM I love this poem, and especially the last two lines. It's too bad letters aren't written anymore. I still have my mother's letters that she sent to me in college in the '80s They are precious to me. The payphone and letters were our only form of communication to our families and friends then of course. It was always exciting to get a letter. Tres jolie Mystic Rose Rose.
