Whispers Upon a Winter's Night~


Whisper to me softly
Upon a Winter's night,
Fill me deep in December
While our fire spits at the cold,
Shoo the cat from the rocker
And invite me there,
Lap open to a straddle serenade,
To and fro
Legato..
As the jealous wind
Wails round corners,
And Jack Frost voyeurs
The windowpane.

Whisper to me softly
Upon a Winter's night,
Tell me things I've never heard before,
See the unselfish candle
Offer its light to our
Shadow play,
Till it is no more
Spent warm and sublime
As we.

Time is lost this Winter's night,
Kept silent and secret
Within the arms of the Grandfather clock,
Pendulum sways to snows tempo,
While hours veil a mist of unaccountable time,
Time known to lovers, and
The only chime
Is the beautiful rhyme
Of you
Inside me..

There are times when poetry make me more aware of my heartbeat. Its very quiet here during these evening hours. Highball and Roxy are sleeping and the only sound is that of my fingers slowly tapping on the keys.  

Deep, passionate poetry warming heart and soul.

Merci Beaucoup.

    

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

  Wails round corners"
