              To See The Winter

Can I count the stars
on a starless night
In the silence of winter
by the window's frosted light

When you come to me
like the first time
will we watch the snowflakes fall
through the footprints will we remember
will we remember at all?

Can we trace the warmth that melted
like angels in the snow
Can we see the winter you loved me
a long time ago

Will your skin melt against me
like it did in seasons before
Will the beauty be recaptured
to see the winter once more

Can I tell you I still love you
after all he faded years
Can you hold me like you used to
will you melt the frosted tears

Can we trace the warmth that melted
like angels in the snow
Can we see the winter you loved me
...a long time ago.

Athena4:

This poem was wow. Left me speechless. I loved how you used the imagery to express how you felt. I can feel how strong the love was. I hope for your sake you can exprience all these things again! My favorite part was " can we trace the warmth that melted like angels in the snow". Keep up the good work!
