Winter's Violin

Tranquil mornings when I'm waking
Capture and enthrall the light
Breathe it deeply, peace relaxing
Rapture of a noonday heart

Sinking sights within the bedsheets
Reminisce of whats anew
Paint the souls of heartache's longings
Violinists never through

Closing eyes and candles tasting
Waste the day and call it mine
Breach and meet the wind, awaken
Peace in heaven's earthly signs

Shattered glass and scattered promise
futures spanning ever on
footstep snuffing out the moonlight
crawling at the calling dawn

Sunshine's murmur that romances
lover's hands that close our lips
Cold, compelling, everlasting
haunting life within a kiss

While the tempest shakes the forest
wreaking havoc in the trees
Love shall keep your windows open
welcoming the winter freeze

You two always blow me away.  This poem is certainly no exception.  VERY beautiful work, you guys.  Definitely a perfect match!     I thought the whole poem had a peaceful tone to it, until the last stanza.  Repeating Cherish, it was chilling.
This piece left me with chills after reading it aloud.  Amazing work!
"Sunshine's murmur that romances

Very romantic stanza, and definitely my favorite throughout.  Wonderfully done!

This is awesome... just awesome. That's all I can say.  

Life is an open book with many unwritten pages, write something that's meaningful to you there.

Reading poetry by either of you is oftentimes an awe-inspiring experience, as many of the members of Passions will agree.  However, reading a collaboration between the two of you is a slightly different experience... it didn't inspire awe from the style of it, or from the flow of it, as it seems not to flow in any single direction, but sort of shows elements of both of your writings. ^_^

The images that you two painted seemed to dance with each other and take the reader's breath away... I really thought this was an excellent collaboration.  Starting off without any rhymes, and then the rest of the poem seemingly painted with rhymes, and then the last stanza returning again to that original state. ^^  Cyclic flow...

And I *love* your title!  ^^  Very pretty... and it sets the mood for a very romantic piece... you know, you two really are mentors for people to look up to. ^_^  Balance of emotion and mutual understanding make writing poetry together seem easy... *whistles*  You two rule!  Excellent job on this one, Carly and Allan. ^_^v  I wonder what any future collaborations you two write will look like... if you two write anything, post, ne? ^_^v

I am a big fan of both your works.  I was just amazed by this piece. The last stanza especially is classic.  Great job on the collaboration.  I hope there are more to come.
