'crystal White Falling'


We lay together warm as kittens as crystal snow fell outside,
     The light of my life stirred in his sleep, murmuring;
It is all clear as crystal now, all the events came like a wave,
               He kissed me with lips as sweet as the whispering wind.

                         Our love a jewel and a rose to treasure.

"Don't go!" I whispered to him as I faded off to sleep, cozy in bed,
     Life is a journey with a destination unknown, time is a thief;
Like a swarm of butterflies I was being chased into bitter reality,
                 The telephone was ringing, ringing, ringing and ringing.

                            I am lost in a swirling storm of grief, forever.

The voice on the telephone left me heartbroken, shattered,
    On a road my love lay dead as the crystal white snow fell;
I am on a roller-coaster of emotions that take me up and down,
                    The crystal white falling always reminds me of him.
                     
                             Pages of time turn but I always turn them back.

I believe we have found a 1st place winner for Nette's contest! I haven't written mine yet, and I need to, just that it might be extremely difficult to come up with a poem that can beat out this gem! Your last line is tremendous, and so real! I feel that way at times, but I usually look ahead and not backwards! Did this occurrence actually happen in life that you express perfectly within your piece? I really enjoyed reading this awesome poem this evening! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!
