When the Snow Falls

When the snow falls, I think of you. 

I think of your smile, your sparkling teeth. 
I think of your eyes, mellow... deep. 

The world is asleep today.
The clouds have kept the sun away. 
We were like two adventurers roaming deserted lands. 

For hours we'd walk, staring in awe. The crystalized trees, the frozen white ground. 
The sun came through and our world caught on fire. Everything sparkled and shimmered. 

When the snow falls, I think of you. 

I remember marshmellowed hot chocolate. 
Disney movies into the afternoon. 
Reading Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys
watching the snow fall more. 

When the snow falls, I think you. 

I remember going to you. 
The snow covered the stone with a cold blanket. 
Even a blanket this cold must be warmer than your cold body. 
The tears I cried were warm. 

Whenever the snow falls, I miss you.

Somehow, this made me feel like it was MY memory, like I was there. Very vivid, very real. :)

Aww. :( That made me so sad! I think everyone misses those childhood memories; I know I do. Nancy Drew...reading that made me smile. Same with the Disney movies; they had good ones back then. Well..some of the ones now are OKAY.

This is a great poem, very sad and sweet. My favorite lines are

"The world is asleep today.
The clouds have kept the sun away.
We were like two adventurers roaming deserted lands."

It's just so beautiful. This poem flows nicely, and I love the form. The last line sums it up and sends a small note of sadness to the reader. As I said before, extremely beautiful and I love it. (:
