My Heart's Coldest Winter

On these long winter days and nights...

I spend them here at home alone.

You are the life of giving me the strength to get up

out of bed to come and see you.

It’s just so cold,

I don’t want to be alone.

The suffering of this awful December

storm has broken me down as the snow,

Falling from my eyes.

I know that you are the one

to supply me with hugs and

vanish all of my fears.

Replacing them with jeers and cheers.

Just to hold you in my arms would

recover all of those broken years.

It’s now the ending of January

that proceeds to February.

Just another month closer to the

warmth of summer time…

I am feeling and knowing that

maybe one day I can say that you

are all mine as my beloved.

Coming up are the chocolates,

kisses, and the frequent wishes,

not to mention, the hopes that you’ll

be my valentine...

Very nice. Your enjabments are very good, and the fact that this has no stanzas allowes the poem to have a much better flow. At first I thought the girl had left the man, but apparently from what I understood they were never together. It is obvious that he wants her, yet I can tell that inspite of the fact that he so desperately desires her, he is somewhat afraid of her rejection.

It was someone I was observing from across the room. Someone I used to date for three years, and after some time away from each other, I wrote this as I was contemplating reuniting with her...

[guy drori]

Guess that was some good inspiration you got there

[sinNsincerity]

I see things everywhere that inspire me. it just comes down to if I have the desire to write about it...

[guy drori]

That's great...inspiration has a greater significance when you do something with it :) Keep on the great work

[alf]

Ahhh! She must have taken your fancy at that time!!! You have a wonderful way of wording your poems, and they seem so very now!!! Love this, alf

[sinNsincerity]

She stood me up on winter formal actually down the road... haha
That's so crazy that you say that because I wrote this when I was seventeen, nine years ago.
Those days where crazing in Los Angeles.

[Ruth]

Oh bless! The striking comparison of the winter dragging, the self locked in its longevity but the warmth returning inside when romance lifts the icy veil and one can see the light of love like a million bright sunrises...beautiful!

[sinNsincerity]

Your interpretation is beautiful and described my work really well.
Thank you so much Ruth!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much Bestie! This poem holds so much to me. I wrote this when I was seventeen and it ties into the short story I wrote about Mayra...

[sereenaoutloud]

You need to write more on that story,,,,nosy me wants to know ! lol :P
Plus it was really great!

[sinNsincerity]

Thanks for the push... it's what I really need or else I will never get to it.
I'm going to keep reading the piece I have already wrote and see where I want to go from there...

[Kathryn Smith]

Dear lord you really do have a tendency to make my heart flutter! Very well written and well said! I am from Wisconsin and our winters are brutal so looking forward to summer is always almost mockery.

Well done! :)

I love this throwback to winter now that summer is almost upon us! The imagery is just beautiful here, and I love the subtle comparison of the lover to the warmth of summer. I liked this a lot.

[sinNsincerity]

I'm glad you liked it Elisa. Thank you so much!

[Madhu]

[JayceeC]

Did you post the original? This coming from the cold of the winter of lonliness that nto the warm arms of love is a beautiful thing.

[sinNsincerity]

No, I never posted the original. Can you believe I wrote this eight years ago when I was seventeen years old lol.

[JayceeC]

I always look for talent in young writers. Some of them write amazing stuff and will be even better if others take interest.

[Crystal Overmeyer-Birmi..]

I like the piece very much, if i could offer one thing, it would the phasing. It was little uncomfortable and effected the overall flow of the piece. Other than that it was a great poem. Great Job

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you crystal.
