.

I was perfectly
suspended in winter's isolation ~
wrapped in my body's warmth,
secure in my own keeping…
and you
perfect in your condition..
both of us poised
toward each other,
frozen in our certainty
and having known
exactly what it was to be
cold and separate and sure..

we chose to melt.

The content is good.  I reccomend perhaps defining what you're going to use as capitalization, and punctuation.  More a mechanics thing than anything else.

(big angel hugs) Oh Nancy, this is sooooooooo romantic and tender it made me cry, as the poem is absolutely gorgeous and gleaming with unconditional love and devotion, and it is a feeling I long to feel ever so much in making my dream girl's heart melt! (wipes tear) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Nancy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
