I love the way the wind
tousled your hair
like a frozen dream
slow motion sleep
you haunt me

and then the way
you laughed at me
when I fell in the snow
it pales against your skin
and it melts for me

you seduce me
with your breath
upon my lips
hidden there
behind your teeth
the pearly gates
leading to bliss

stargazer: this is a good poem all-in-all... there is only one thing i see that you might consider changing... in the first two stanzas you have references to ice or to cold wintery times... but in the third you pass up the opportunity for another wonderful ice simile by using the old "pearly teeth" cliche... i'd suggest you change the next to last line to something more like "the icy pillars/ leading into bliss"... that's just a suggestion from an uncultured and untalented poet, however *heh*... do what you will... it'll be a wonderful poem either way

Stargazer,
  This is a great poem the only thing is it seems unfinished. You paint the picture wonderfully, but it seems the intro to something. Of course no idea is ever really finished. It really is a wonderful read anyway. Hope to see more.
