I WAS WINTER...

I was winter to be read in a whisper

 

I was blue winter      

crystal, dormant splintered…

You were blushing spring     

budding, flowering beginnings…

My heart encased

in frosted wintertide replaced

by your golden ride

your fertile, thriving springtide…

Cold sleep, white spell

apple orchard scents now swell…

Misting breath now warm

your untamed hands a living storm…

Lilting clouds kiss

the hills like angel wings amiss…

Passionate desire

rising within me like sunfire…

I was winter…

Whispered all the way through this and it is magnificent. You write so the imagery brings the emotions with it. The feeling of cold, then its dormency, the slow beginning of Spring's warmth and the magical infusion of feelings that her gentle touch begins to bring to the earth and the approval the sky gives in the beautiful artistry of clean bright colors and images for the newly arrived below. Life's plate had been wiped clean and she has now arrived to renew once again the bounties of life. Upon arrival, she kissed winter goodnight and succumbing to her charms, he melts into the earth to add the much needed moisture of his purifying love to fertilize Springs new eggs of life. Of course only my thoughts on this beatiful piece of artistic writing. Your magic pen created desire for the seasons and gave birth to another masterpiece by you. Great job!

This was just perfect, Craigspeare, I only wish I could describe how much I loved this. The delicacy in the images, the tenderness in the affection, everything just slides into place forming the most stunning of poems! You are the master of words and I bow to you!

Wonderful metaphors here. A passionate and romantic piece that's also uplifting and hopeful. Liked this much.

What an absolutely fantastic write! I love the imagery, the word choice, and even the rhyme scheme (and I'm usually not one for rhymed poetry). There was something sensual, intellectual, and inspirational in this piece that just sent it over the edge of good poetry into my little world of "favorites". I look forward to reading more from you!

This is one of the most remarkable pieces of poetry I've ever read on this site. Your theme can be appreciated by anyone, and your descriptive powers leave the reader spellbound, swept away into another moment somewhere out there. I enjoyed the read immensely, as I see have many others here. Bravo!
