With it came the snow from low grey masses that scoured the tops of the bared boned trees leaving them to bleed white from tips of fingers that reached up for something warmer than the cold yet found only the iced touch of “ I’ve felt this before “ Some flakes gathered on the green of cedar In a hold that dripped long drops against my neck As I sat there wondering at the way When I was younger I would hungrily open my mouth And let those pale flakes of sky fall to my mouth Never enough to quench the thirst inside Yet always thinking “At least, I tried” Now, I long for a fire To ease the aches exposure leaves And to warm deeper places that Do not bend as well in such climbs as these So reached to pull a match from my breast pocket Searched for dry leaves or needles fine enough to burn And piled them carefully To let the flames build As I fed small sticks to them Watching as the spark rose then faded black Against blankets of deepening snow You came to mind then And I remembered how it was to see you Lost in someone else as I felt The first bite of wind and wondered how deep the drifts would be If it had snowed in the cold that followed |

Now, I long for a fire To ease the aches exposure leaves And to warm deeper places that Do not bend as well in such climbs as these oh damn. **babyblu** **Intoxicant to the SouL** |

Ms Sun... No ma'am, I don't do it all..(chuckling) I do nothing but slap some words on paper that usually show how little I know... but..I appreciate the eyes that take the time to read them..and the people who are kind enough to say they did.. so I thank you ma'am... for the eyes and the time. Dark... (chuckling) Yeah, I as a kid too (grin) I just started early in life.. your eyes and your comments sir..always appreciated.. BBg.... lol... at least you didn't follow that damn with "you" ... thanks ma'am.. for the read..and the eyes.. having tried to write with you, I know how different the styles and the process. Maybe Damn is all that fits here..huh? Ms Shadows... Hun, the fact that you read and comment on what drivel I offer here and all across the boards is apreciated. I'm always amazed that people find anything in the words I write..the fact you have commented on so many of the pieces I have written, amazes me even more... thank you... thanks all... appreciate it.. the words, the eyes, the kindness... |
