Your winter-stained eyes reveal everything
my silenced heart cannot articulate
with sufficient grace.
For if my words stumbled as clumsily into your ears
as I did into your grasp,
their climax would be lost somewhere in their exposition,
and they would stutter
and trip
and fall.
This October wind whips around my frame
and becomes reminiscent of your frostbitten irises.
And it whispers the truth, dictated better than
I could ever imagine.

Wow, I really liked this...I love how you personified so much of it, and the "frostbitten irises" was probably one of the prettier phrases I've come across in poetry. ^.^ 8.9/10
