Crumpled by the scornful hand, sifted
through fingers forked as one’s dream is
spread upon the winter’s road.

Chilling,  the echoing cry of stark naked limbs,
as the frost of love dashed,  stains the window’s
pane....

As pain settles upon the hollow ribs and
yearn’s hunger climbs the mountainous
range of dashed hope...

O but to see, to taste the fruit of one’s eyes
before the slender tentacles of a cold heart
freezes the wafting steam of my broth.

For on the eve of winter’s howl my moon shall
cast the shadow of goodbye amongst the wind
that shudders my heart’s door....

Rattle my shutter...find the waiting crack
as love awaits the outward draft...that I might
just once touch the flake of you, falling
gently into earth’s arms...before you melt
and join my waiting tear, falling silently
into the sparkling ash of winter’s cry.

We have snow...or is that 'had'?
You just melted it poet sir!
Or perhaps it was the huge 'sigh' coming out of Canada.

~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

In the midst of winter..
I found there lives within me,
an invincible summer.

This was nice-but the last stanza took me to another place. Well done.

What a romantic! I especially liked the last stanza -- this was like music to the ears!
