A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

seasons curved in sway
imagine a snowfall in June
hearts afire with white flame
and incandescent skin tanned in dimpled decor
burn tracked veins of cold blood

a lover's venom
swift blue


it's December in March
and I couldn't feel further
from mirth

---because the birth
 of us

is an aborted blizzard 

frost bite
 a translucent reminder 

i did once
love you.

Amazing use of words and thoughts.
"i did once
love you."
Honest thoughts led to the strong ending above. Thank you Jacob for sharing the amazing poetry.

You are welcome my friend.
The things you never expected to transpire from you so certain feelings. Such disappointment described so, so well Jacob.
