Across the lakes
Through frozen flakes
They come in storm,
Whose breath be warm
To change a freeze
Into a tenderness,
To fall and splatter,
With applause
To somehow matter;
Offer cause,
Hard against the clotheslines of
The earth of every yard.
Spilling a releasing warmth
To all frozen tongues and
Flowered root that soon
From canon stalks will shoot
The sky with both barrels
Of new brightness.
Seizing every eye,
As spring is born.
Pages torn, windows flung,
Songs sung and
Sun splashing warm kisses
Onto cheeks that blush
With wishes
For only more.
A day or two of lasting pleasure
Amore’,
This too, a part of
Our forever story.
I will sit outside tomorrow
On a tiled balcony
Have my breakfast,
Scrambled eggs
And caviar,
Portion out a peace
To share with God.
