The winter too long
Branches too bare
Shadows too solemn
The air too bleak
And then you hovered
A promising blush
Soft and beguiling
Melting the snow
You warmed my heart
Quickened my pulse
Exhaled my breath
Clouded my judgement
I have fallen for you!
Yes, I will
Wait for the warmth of your breath
As you whisper in my ear
Calling my name.
Yes, I’m ready
To sip wine from your harvest
Tasting the soil and human toil
As you kiss my lips
Yes, I’m coming
With the river’s great rush
Feeling it’s caress on my skin
As I take all of you in
Yes, I promise
That I’ll watch the blush with you
Of sunrise and sunsets
As your fire fuels my flame
Yes, I must
Breathe the crisp fresh fragrance
Of your mountains and forests
As I lie down with you
Yes, I know
All your cracks and fault lines
Still I see the beauty in you
Yes, I love you all the same
A mirrored reflection caught my eye
A black and white picture of you and I
Behind the reflection, rose colored walls
Sounds of love songs echoing down halls
Through the tracks of needles and tapes
Spun out of swelling love and heartbreaks
Time swirled around and streamed through
A broken part of me to a broken part of you
Shared memories linger in that ideal frame
A sequenced montage that calls out my name
As I gaze closely at the photograph once again
I glimpse the anticipation we could not contain
When our favorite song invited us to dance
We seemed to have been captured in a trance
The image keeps us locked in eternal embrace
What happened next, there is no sign or trace
That appears to be the way of sweet dreams
Where the magic is not as perfect as it seems
But as I lay my weary head and return to sleep
I rewind our love song that still makes me weep
