Steamed glass breeds recollection,
fingers trace on a frosted window pane,
the daydreams of lovers
on a winter morning
when nothing could go wrong.
The clean snow fell and danced
along my nose, tickled and
made me feel like a child again.
The winds brushed against me,
and slipped between my coat and jeans
like a familiar lover,
confident of his travels,
and I was innocent in love.
The years fell like flakes and
I am older now,
much heartier for my faults
and more forgiving of yours.
But still my heart quickens,
and my voice catches like a moonbeam
on the edge of the window shade,
when my thoughts again stray
back to a frozen day, playing in
the newly fallen wonderland with
the boy
whose face I can finally see.

a good poem, ah love, i suppose when we are younger it is more magical, i don't know, or maybe it just appears that way as we grow older, i like the confident wind imagery used here.

This was really good. The second stanza reminded me of Edward Scissor Hands... "I still like to dance in it"
hehe
