Seasoning

It was in the Winter, when we first crossed.
A New Year and I became addicted
first to poetry, then to your many masked words.
Hard or soft, it was no pretense
that you were in my thoughts,
mirrored in my eyes, puzzled in my mind.

Eyes, lips and soul, began the Spring of the year,
held by your rhythm, the pattern of your words,
stressed and unstressed, conditioning me
to a Summer of wonder, lengthening in scene
of  natures touch,  that words would often fail.

It was then, yes, I think then,
while trailing you, that I began to trace
the healing of my wounds to words.
Your words, warm as the Summer's breeze
restoring my faith, mending my worn tapestry,
bringing it to a richness that only
you could paint, in such a flowering way.

You were my forbidden, and cometh the Fall
when all else was preparing to withdraw from life,
sighing their last breaths of color
readying to surrender again,
you lifted me, stiffened my resolve,
pressed me between pages.
Savoring the taste, I await
another seasoning of you.

~Wynter
