Afterglow

I never again thought I would dream
  to bathe my heart and mind
within warm currents of a crystal stream
  and leave the stricken past behind.
Never, never can you tell
  when the glorious fever will take hold
and melt the harshest snows that fell
  a coverlet of cruellest cold.
Dispelling sharpest Winter sting
  with touch divine and consummate;
reborn to a vibrant virgin Spring
  emotions forced to hibernate.
You touched my life in spite of all,
  you gave me all I need to know,
the will to live and always fall
  beneath your spell of afterglow...
