Whispers of White

~ a winter love sonnet ~

~~~

Soft is our garden of delicate light

with glistening buds still shimmering spring

painted and dewy in whispers of white

as snow is falling on light lacey wings

 

Stirring on windfalls, as chilly winds blow

yet I am a blush, a flutter within

Caught in a daydream filled with the warm glow

of your tender touch, of silk to my skin

 

Of petals scattered in sweet disarray

and my heart melting in flames of desire

Please promise my love to love me this way

until winter fades to ash in our fire

 

Snowflakes are falling in delicate light

yet love is blooming in whispers of white

~~~

The different varieties of light in this poem are dazzling. Snowy imagery glistens effortlessly into the radiant light of passion in the third stanza. All the ash in the fire represents a life and winter spent in a glorious array of white light. When I look at this snow it will glow just a bit brighter because of your words.

[MsJewel]

Thank you my sweet friend. I appreciate your generous comment :) Julie

White never sounded so soft and inviting even down to the ash. I am sure the embers kept the hearth warm as they slowly turned to white. There is such a purity of prose throughout the poem and the picture...oh that picture...stunning just like everything else in this creation.
