One December’s Eve

Missing image





A cold wind blows,

winter comes early

and unexpected;
now deep driven aches
mark the season's passing;

even oak's

hearty leaves

eventually fall
to relentless wind
of insatiable hearts
and bitter ends.

I cried

to the silhouette cast wall

of you and not I…
but two lovers
still

in the night
as I wander

till dawn's reality

reveals its darkness.

 

Within the arms
of a stranger,
(sweet summer satisfactions),
I punish myself
to forget about you ~


only to walk into your memory
through every shadow I see
December’s fornications.

    Very descriptive of lonely, aching chill. Excellent "the silhouette-cast wall of you and not I...but two lovers still." Also beautiful, "only to walk into your memory through every shadow I see." Sad sense of loss. Congrats on the gold!

    Its ironic how one person can see one thing, and another something totally different.

    I didn't find this haunting as much as I did calming. You have some really well done images here.
