Winter in your EyesA Poem by Sherri Moshman Paganosa poem about loss of a relationship, a poem of contrastsWinter in your Eyes
Lilacs in bloom, lavender vines, Shyly offering their fragrance To all who walk by But I feel only winter in your eyes.
Petunias dot gardens and hillsides Purple Jacarandas on city walks, bushes of honeysuckle sweet But for you, always winter in your eyes.
In the wind swaying among the pines Dance fiery red poppies growing wild, poplars gently shaking their new growth But in your glance, only cold and ice.
As the yellow dahlia opens with a smile And at night the crescent moon rises Still you’re cold to the touch And I see forever winter in your eyes.
Once again in the greenness of spring You’ll prove anew the flatness of the earth, As you disappear over the horizon Vanishing in the whiteness of your world.
