Wrapping round me
the shades of rain, warm
and warped

enter the heart
not at lightning's speed, but
in the tempo
of slow simmer, beckoning embers
flame a revival on the nightstand

the elixir neither toxic nor sweet
(for now)

not yet the hour's arrival
that will determine
the merit
or the deep regret of you

Only this -

simple rhyme, morphing into
the blaring crescendo effect

Spring's first flowers
breaking the spell
of snow covered apathy,
with yellow expression

and  
the stark realization
of something starting up
from pale whispers, now relentless
as the volume turns up

You are here

having not been sought

but O
how you've hit that spot.

Oh WoW! This hits the lovely spot you intended for it to hit, Emma. Such a slow and easy approach to that "spot." This is one of your best, my friend, it is exquisite!

I am especially fond of:

"Spring's first flowers
  breaking the spell
  of snow covered apathy,
  with yellow expression"
