soon she'll drift

there are snow flakes whirling  under the street lights

dancing  up against her window before they take flight

she's perched in the sill and reeling in pensive disbelief

avoiding the walk to her lover's bedroom tonight

and guilty for wishing she could fly away free

if she were a snowflake she'd drift away from the moon

to a lover whose heart bled in the words that he wrote

tomorrow she'll search for his poetry and words in her throat

but they'll all die on the vine having never bloomed

there's an aching for something new down in her bones

and she wants to leave like the snowflakes in the street

but the words are cursed to endlessly repeat

it's as if he can't see that his seasons are cold and alone

and his eyes will glaze and his rain will turn to sleet

and she'll crust over with the loneliness that only she knows

'soon she'll drift'
m.s.early,
Within design of free will is the realty of discontent. A person just knows when their life is fulfilled- warm, comforting, flourishing. This poem speaks to the loss of nurture and the cold of winter snow mimics the lifeless love this lady is dealing with. Introspective one.
I really enjoyed reading!

Tragically sad and gorgeously pen'd xavier

if she were a snowflake she'd drift away from the moon
to a lover whose heart bled in the words that he wrote
tomorrow she'll search for his poetry and words in her throat
but they'll all die on the vine having never bloomed

Adore this stanza, it could stand alone and be stunning.
