~~~
My easy-chair shifts closer to the hearth with each passing winter,
my ingle-nook ... forestalling isolation and despair
A wisp of smoke
and the gentle song of embers as flames engulf stale reality

With their golden glow stirring merry voices
from so many years ago ...

Church-bells chiming faintly mingle with the sound of carolers weaving door to door through the fresh trackless snow
Smiling eyes, singing, hand in hand their warm wishes reaching out
and hugs, before they move on, to an Ivy'd Manor-house

Yet, one stayed on to linger ...

Songbook clutched across a breast,
throbbing to the feathered touch of fairy feet ...

One with a face framed by a wreath of flaxen hair,
the shyest stare from downcast eyes,
cheeks flushed to rose
and a voice that whispered to my deepest parts

If only you knew ...

From that moment to this, you would bring to me and always fulfill my fondest memories, each fireside
~

If you continue
to think
what you have always thought
you will continue
to get
what you have always got!

Very captivating romantic write and I so love how you brought up my own memories of snow and bells ...

Love,

Were one only to know
what fires were brought forth
in a single, winsome blink of lash

~*~

but memories are effervescent, a bubble
born in a chill, yet to be warmed...

You inspire, as always, my friend. Thank you!

Thanks all ... been brewing this one for quite some time ... I seldom write anything these past few years ( couple things still on the burner )

Been a little busy rebuilding classic cars and going to shows

Thanks again
