Niagara Falls In Winter The icy mist showers down in whispers, dusting each tree in a nuance of crystal. The city lights gleam in scarabs of color painting midnight rainbows in your hair. As the falls thunder and quake, surges of power beckon the total destiny of this winter paradise. You take my hand, and I am captured in the breathless etchings of beauty in your eyes. I fall against your body, and your arms surround me. I feel the compelling power of the falls rage within me, as your lips touch mine in velvet softness. I lose myself in enchanted euphoria and gaze into the eyes of the most beautiful wonder ...of the world. |

athena, you cannot keep writing like this. . . this is so beautiful. . . *sigh*. . . I've never been to the Falls, but now. . . I really want to go. . .  --------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Hi athena4, Well written words I read here today which have brought back many pleasant memories. I lived near Rochester, NY for a while, and had the chance to visit the falls in the winter. Very nice, and a very pleasant read., BC |

Wilfred, Thank you so much for the kind words. I would love to read your poem on the "Falls" They really do inspire writing, don't they? Elise Charisma, Thanks so much. And yes, it was "penned with love" at the time, but now the wonder of the man is gone. The Falls are still there, though! Elise Sven, Thanks for the always beautiful response. Sven, my friend, if you ever went to the Falls and penned a poem, the waters would cease in awe of your writing... Much love, Elise Bill, Thank you so much. I hope you will get to see them again, as they are such an inspiration. Elise |
