Cold and Deep

 

 

                                    Pale in winter white are clouds that weep

a snowflake's tender fall,

‘tis cold and deep

 

                                    The frost of winter chill can't hold me dear

                                    a tingle finds my cheek, one frozen tear

                                    to dress my winter coat in quiet chill

                                    gathered 'pon stormy winds, yet all is still

 

Taking the blue of skies, this frost that clings

in silence icy cries lost on the wings

of graceful nightingales and as they fly

sweet songs of joy are lost in the dark sky

 

Unzip the silent night for in my dreams

wrapped in the silver sheet of warm moonbeams

I find myself in spring, I feel the bliss

of butterflies, sweet perfume on my wrist

           

Caressed in warm embrace and flowery hue

with honey kisses sweet, romance is new

and soft as whispered words only love hears

fading slowly away as the dawn nears

               

Pale in winter white where my dreams sleep

and still the snowflakes fall,

 ‘tis cold and deep

I liked how you used the seasons.
"Caressed in warm embrace and flowery hue

You are welcome dear Julie.

Such beautiful flow and tones with this one invoking mixed emotions along the way. The use of seasonal change fits so well and is perfect!

dear Julie... Winter is past, but not forgotten. Now, we need to think
of Summer and the sun-kissed mirth of sand and shore where seagulls
write poetry in clouds of discontent... a time of literature turned
upside down by leaders of countries so profound. There is a Season
for all things... with hope and love for everyone. truly, Pat x

A sonnet with elegance and pathos and well described scenes as it flows in beautiful waves of sadness.

it was snow today among the grass awaiting green but unlike your snow flake of cold and deep ours was a joyful leap.

those snowflakes, so beautiful, yet cold and deep.....like love...it is sometimes a shelter, and sometimes a storm within the shelter.
