Your gaze

*


Towards you I walk,
my arms outstretched
like branches of a tree
embarrassed by its
wintery nakedness.

But your summer gaze
lingers on the whole of me,
digging deep through
all of my defensive layers.
You stir me out of slumber
and wash a spring tune over me.

You say hi to my every cell,
without uttering a sound.
I respond and move closer
dressed in languid buoyancy.
Your eyes reflect the colors
of all of my seasons at once.

I surprise you then
as I decide to bloom
in the middle of winter,
allowing your sun gaze
to quickly melt away
all the residues of ice
that kept my frozen dreams
from being realized.

Well, my darlin' Dolphina, there you go again showing us the ofttimes unnoticed world around us, as perceived by your seeing eyes ~ and heart.

Much love to you and your loved ones for the coming new year! May it be joy-filled!

Many many open hearted lovely lines.....Melts right through the heart.

"dressed in languid buoyancy.
Your eyes reflect the colors
of all of my seasons at once."

Now that's a GAZE!

Take care

Yo dear Margherita,

This is a good poem, with a most strange and unusual picture.

Love Bobby

Beautiful words and picture, Margherita.  Flowers like love blossoming in winter can sometimes be out of place but it's the blossoming that's important.

Love

Aww, this is beautiful.  A few years ago, I was going on a drive up one of the summits on my brithday which is July 9th.  It started to snow and the snow dressed the fireweed and wild rose blossoms.  Your poem reminds me of this time.

Love,
A
