Snowdrop

There she stood, soft blond hair blowing in the gentle breeze
Blue eyes reflecting thoughts from horizons over tranquil seas
Red lips slightly parted a faint smile just waiting there
To catch her eye and linger there, or is it so rude to stare
A slender ankle a slight blush now upon my cheek
I wonder why she stands alone, flick of hair, so straight, so sleek
Would I dare to talk to her, then simply hold her hand
The murmurings of the waves etching love stories in the sand
Her shadow grows long, tinged crimson from the setting sun
Then turn away, a memory erased, long gone days of fun
A black sky storm, as seagulls soar, salt spray for my tears
I wander home where I recall love’s moments throughout the years
And when winter’s blanket falls, do snowdrops bow to you
Yellow white and mauve, each crocus formed within my heart so true.

Mellow with smooth lines like this one:

The murmurings of the waves etching love stories in the sand


Reflective and warm in spite of the snow drop.

Wonderful write, exquisitely structured.

The snowdrops working their way out of the snow cause a mystical emotion in the observer, in me anyway!
