Streaks of blue and yellow paint the night
as the midnight sun glows in the eerie sky
splotches of color appear like an impressionist
gone mad with the artist’s brush on canvas

Night air is damp and heavy with the chill
of a winter uncertain of it’s identity
gasping to survive the assault of spring
clutching to the memory of a frozen world

The breath escapes my body in a fog of white
floating in the stillness like smoke
drifting upward in slow, deliberate motion
to disappear like a fading dream of gray

Disappearing like a fading dream of you
merging into the fabric of the night
lost to another time, another dimension
as the icicle of winter grips my heart

I ache for the spring’s healing thaw
too long is the night of the midnight sun
return to me the breath of the southern wind
bring the warmth of spring back to my life

You have traveled far from this lonely heart
left to grapple with the dearth of winter
impatiently waiting for the resurrection
of a soul lost without your love

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Peggers~
The canvas stood there white
until you began to write
then it took on the shades of
life, word-painted ... of love~

Poignant and lovely is this~

Surreal and romantic! An interesting combination that works for me.

I’m intrigued that you have winter being assaulted by spring … the longing to stay in a frozen state that is safe? Then the nice transition (with the fog) into the narrator’s lost love and yearnings.
