Valsa George Poet Free verse

Winter Love

when light faded out 
and darkness descended
when all over me 
the icy chill began to creep  	
I slammed the windows and doors
tightly shut
and like a child crawled
into my padded bed,

while the winter gale
was still raging outside 
you broke upon my thought
as a euphonious melody.
when I longed for your warmth, 
you knocked upon my feeble heart

as your voice trailed across to me 
louder and louder,
I woke up from my languorous sleep
felt snug, the chillness around me, swept away
and a strange desire, 
coursed through my nerves 

I could feel the heat 
of your tumultuous passion
the soft touch 
of your caressing hands
the musky odor 
of your fragrant breath
the warmth in your almond eyes 

you stood before me 
as an embodiment of grace
  
you opened the windows to let in the light
not leaving me grope in blinding darkness

you took me to the seas 
of shore less delight
you enlivened every atom of my being
kindled in me the fire 
of amorous desire
swept me off my feet 
by the inundating tide of love

I felt my sleeping passions 
suddenly set ablaze

Alas, with my senses lulled to sleep
leading me into a state of serene calm
through the door ajar, 
you faded out like an evanescent dream
leaving me so stupefied....!
