Victoria Anderson-Throop Poet Rhyme

Winter's Toast

Disappeared is time for one and all
Who leave their footprints by the sea.
High winds grab voices as they fall--
Secured in silent memory.

Stormy nights like anchors sink
To dig and take a-hold
And long beyond will form a link
Of nights, a chain of love grown cold.

Ice hearted she-cats shed blood tears
When hidden in their beds
And in the night the future’s  clear
Tho' torn to bitter shreds.

Love lost too soon howls hard in pain-
Will not lie down and die.
Sleepless nights toss on in vain,
With time they multiply.

When north winds shriek round rocky coasts
Screaming winter’s name,
By roaring fires survivors toast
To ease the loss and blame.

Tears are shed for lovers lost
And for sweet youth gone by,
When the heart still thrummed with hope
When twilight kissed night sky.

Would we live it all again--
Repeat the joy and ache?
Lucky that the choice won’t come
By God --our hearts would break.
