Winter's Embrace

Um, so I saw some frost the other day, and some glowing Christmas lights, and voila! Here you have a....very nice moment. :)

Winter’s Embrace

 

With snow-drenched leaves dripping icicle dreams

and our skin..

soft and silken white

Swayed to the rhythm of the darkened moonlight

When droplets of steam dripped on cotton silhouettes

leaving the air sodden with mirrored glimpses

And silence escaped in favor of echoed gasps

Of traced-on paper windows

Laden with drunken, dizzy visions

and satin touches beneath generous heaps

of yesterdays laundry, in silver repeat

With you lowered beneath in soft caresses

adorned by an electrifying touch

admired in these eyes of mine

to taste of...

to breathe in...

Velvet touches on a glazed window pane

smeared on the frosty elixir of you

Wow...very nice piece here. Your imagery is incredible, with plenty of picturesque language helping to evoke pictures of "inner" (call it what you will :) ) warmth in perfect contrast with the frosty mist of winter. I love your use of color in the poem as well; your direct and indirect references to the colors silver and white were beautifully distributed and emphasized well the message of this piece. Great work. Thank you for sharing.

Each word, each line is such a vivid expression of beauty, depth, and devotion. The world around us, so mundane to some, simply comes to life through your words and enchants me...

So this is what Santa and some of the elves get up to behind frosted windows! This would make a hilarious version of a Hallmark Xmas card...the recipient would be scrambling to figure out who sent the card. Or is it more that the cold, sentimental season brings out the spiced whine in you...LOL. This poem made me smile with a number of pleasant possibilities. Seriously, send a copy to the Playboy mansion, H H would probably frame it and put it up in the Christmas tree ;) I also liked the metaphor of "frosty elixir of you" and that you made smearing sound HOT!
