Beggar's winter rain

Gails of blowing wind
streak across their cheeks.
With tear-blurred eyes
they breast the rainy bold.

With sound dampened voices
they laugh shivering cold.
Wet smell of cooling pave
surround streams newly formed.

The icy touch glowing
fingers with stiffening raw.
They huddle in wet-warmth
around life-giving fire.

    I really enjoyed this piece. You have shown us that sensual writing is not limited to just erotica or love poetry; for that I am apprecative. Thank you for entering and good luck!


    Blessings

    Ah Frans!

    This sounds familiar. A lovely poem on interactivity and interconnectivity. The joyous and tactile of elements and human spirits and the whole of love and sharing.

    I loved this poem. Inside the fire always instigate love and no external conditions can block the flow of the soul.
