Of wintry blooms
will the heart find a matchless flower,
love’s rose spreading in stunning solidarity
its passionate ruby petals
amid the blustering fall of silent flakes,
those seconds of snowy distance
when absence makes its drifts upon the soul.
It brings forth the stark beauty
from the claret hints of what exists
as the seeds from pure devotion
no raging storm can kill.
In the ivory expanse of isolation
where longing clusters as icicles
upon the trees of one’s dreams,
a single blossom rising within the eyes
will always shine its fiery crimson hues,
radiating such intense affections
to cast their thawing glow
across the frozen landscape
within another’s thoughts.
Being a rare scarlet bud of precious essence,
fragile, yet ever so adorning,
when life must dwell
under a mantel of frigid sunrises.

I really got lost in the 3rd stanza ... though the entire poem is really good. I really like your word choices and the ending is really good too...but that 3rd stanza ...wow. I really love this piece

The human heart spreads love as passions petals. Covering the space as if silent snow that drift the soul. Beauty from lifes wine to devotion that no storm can destroy. A single bloom with eyes of fire that give a thawing glow from natures frozen thoughts. Fragile sunrises are softened as loves entwined love. The flow and clear moving work the reader draws consistent ear to sound tingles. The vivid images fill the reader with emotions delight
