Season's Parting

Chilled rain:
The aftermath of your doleful words
Stung so suddenly
With evening's gray tide

Hardened earth
Of your bitter resolve to be free
Froze my budding intentions
On soft, spring soil

Empty sky,
Devoid of your reasons,
Bored through my crumbling fantasy
With certainty’s cruel aim

Lingering frost:
A fading token of your winter storm –
A passionate assault
That did not last.
