In the Snow

~

Winter swirls upon ice crystal skies,
snowflake pirouettes tickle your lashes
as we walk hand in hand, rosy red cheeks
frame a perfect smile, your eyes twinkle
and my heart melts

Footprints decorate this path we stroll
through sculpted drifts of chilled bliss
and scattered birdseed mosaics
neath evergreen branches trimmed in white,
in a world that glistens

Shivered wishes and soft alabaster dreams
gather like snow geese
frolicking, foraging for food
as I lean in to kiss you
and your lips taste sweet

Quiet whispers float across a frozen lake
as we sit upon a wooden bench
holding each other tightly,
not for warmth, but for love,
which we share on this cold December day. . .  

in the snow

~
