thinking about someone tonight...

"winter paintings" for L

there is the bench
where last night i sat
and stared at the moon,
and coulds revealed by star light
holding white powder
for the morning drops calmly on my shoulders
as the world, it grows louder

that is the road behind me trodden
once empty and black
time covered by blankets
unfolded by clouds
and in front of my eyes
ensued spectacular scenes
strangely it seems
i was grasping at shadows,
turned into light beams

here i lay resting my head
i glance out the window
to see falling white powder
like a painting, perpetual
through glass, feigning canvas and
hearts growing louder
the smell of her hair
i hear the music, her laughter

now i smile
and closing my eyes
take her touch with me to sleep
and smile when i see her face after

    sweet poem, mook. "L" is a lucky girl. :)
    Life is the riddle
    Of which we're caught in the middle.
    A couple of lucky ones
    Tangled up in too much love

    :) It's a lovely poem. Easy to picture "you" sitting on that bench, white powder in hand. :)

    Good title, you do paint a picture
    « One man's glory is another man's hell.
    You’re on the outside, never bound by such a spell.
    Together in the darkness, alone in the light.
    I took it upon me to be yours, Timmy,
    I’ll lead your angels and demons at play tonight......»
  • thanks, karma defect :)

    Very nice Mookie. I was reading this first thing this morning and I think it's beautiful. It's very visual. I could actually picture this poem...like one of your paintings.

    Once again, thanks for sharing your writings with us. :)
