Warmth

 

 

On this cold and blustery day,

where frozen whispers collect in the corners of your mind

and dreams travel well south of any border

 

As streams flow beneath a glistening surface

reflecting shivering tree lines,

chilled silhouettes of snowcapped forests

 

When the breezes, once a welcome springtime friend

become a formidable force,

slicing through the layers of woven smiles you wear

 

And temperatures have you wishing for sunflowers

in green sun lit meadows with gingham cloth

and a picnic set for two

 

Know that I, breathing only of the fire

kindled in my heart, raging of an undying affection

shall always provide the warmth you desire…

Will, I need to warm up, first, before my brain can function, in this extreme cold weather. As I have lost all sense of touch, to my poetic soul. A nice blazing fire, would be, just right, on such a winter day, like this. A mug of warm apple cider, will be nice, as hot chocolate is, toxic to my body. Thanks, Will, for the warm wishes, on this frigid day.

Thanks you so much Therisa. You need to find a warm blanket, put your feet up and relax. Stop shivering!!!!! :)

It's only -24 C with the wind chill, today, Will. A lot warmer than yesterday's -31 C wind chill.

This sounds like the perfect poem to warm a cold day.
Your words are beautiful Will. You're becoming quite the romantic.
Well, on and off. Still need to get past those 'weeds' ;)
Beautiful poem.

Yes, this poem and a hot cup of coffee next to a cozy fireplace. :) Thank you so much my sweet friend. It's funny, even when it's cold and there is snow on the ground, weeds still seem to flourish. :) I am always happy when you stop by. Stay warm.....

Stay warm? That's a pretty tall order around here these days.

[willweb]

Well, I am 6 foot, but It was more of a hope as opposed to an order. :)

Ha! Really? You're just showing off now!

Weeds can grow pretty tall you know...
