Icicles


It gave you pleasure
Melting my resistance
Shining in the sparkle
You found in my eyes
Twinkling treasure

Partially hidden from view
Wrapped in glossy paper
You tore away
Layers of ribbons tied
I loved you

Held this gift in your gaze
Touched the outer layers
Slipped inside skillfully
Heat replaced the cold
Closed my eyes, milky ways

I have often wished upon you
Like some far off star
In the icy winter sky
And I think to myself:
Darlin’, if you only knew

Nice....really beautiful.....LOL when I said keep 'em comin, I didn't mean so many at a time...i suppose you weren't told this yet, but it is generally frowned upon to post so much at a time...perhaps if you spent more time replying...personally, I post no more than one or two, sometimes three poems in a day-usually spread about in seperate forums. Perhaps try to get in at least 3 replies for every poem posted. (And that is an absolute minimum!)

Dear Systematic Decay,

So sorry! I am a very literal person, and one with not much time, either, I'm afraid!
So, I have posted several at a time, when I have the time...

I have been posting commentary, but there are so many postings, it is hard to keep up.


I will try to control my enthusiasm!

Corinne
