Winter Dark
Winter Dark
Staring at the winter
Dark descending
I remember thinking
The whole world
Wouldn’t be enough
I close my eyes savoring
This fugitive moment
Imploring you
With an open mouth kiss
I whisper, “I love you”
Our eyes meet
In a nervous glance
The melancholy is music
It is a slow waltz
A desperate dance
Your smile warmly recalling
An amused wistfulness
Maybe a reminiscence
This renders me
Hopeful and breathless
About this poem
This poem is about being caught up in a "desperate dance" having what seems like insurmountable difficulties, but hoping for renewed love.
