Window magic
Late at night
Drowsy dreams sift in
On cooler breezes
Falling like a thin mist
Of dark chocolate
Tempting Old Man Winter
To pour on the sugar
Pure in due time

Sheers of tingles
On the scent of crisper air

The moon light cascading
Across a quiet slumber
With fewer and fewer
Night creatures singing
Their lullaby
With the last one standing, ovations
Before the curtain call

Full the white globe hangs
Of summer lover's heavy meet
Contented it shines in dimmed reflection
Of snuggled spoons sweet retire

I hear the drip...drip
Of my rose petals
In the last sigh of life
As they graciously shed their color
Unto nature's palette
Contributing to the canvas
In the swirls of the masterpiece
To be painted overnight

Soon my world will know only white

yes.... again you paint with more than colors..you paint the emotions as well, setting scenes of suggestion for the reader to fill in detail, yet enough detail provided to draw them to a picture similar to your own....

It is the winding down, the end of season felt by all and noted with great grace in your words....

Regina~ Another breathtaking write! And this one's got such a magical feel to it. I'd like to ditto everything Cpat said because I agree completely but don't have the eloquency (is that even a word?) to express it so well!

Oh and I love the spoon line as well, my sweetie and I are always talking about being spoons while we sleep

Loved it!
Hugs,
~Krista

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

Oh Regina, this is outstanding. The imagery is vivid, fresh and unique.

Softly breathtaking...even the construct of this piece dazzles like glistening snow. You've quite a talent my friend!

I can't seem to decide whether I am loking forward to winter or not. This makes me think, maybe yes. Beautiful!

And more lovely thoughts spill from your pen Regina. I don't like winter myself, but like Duncan said, you almost make me look forward to it here.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

This one reminds me of an "old-fashioned" Christmas card that has the raised white sand and glitter to accentuate the details of a countryside painting -- like the snow surrounding the road which leads up to a log house in the distance, whose lit fireplace can be seen through its window and can almost be smelt from the waifts of chimney smoke subtly painted in... Even though this poem is just before such an image, such is the impression it cajoled for me. In other words: very vivid view.
