Simmering the arctic air my eyes to melt away A deeper shade of adoration looks upon a further day Too quietly in the creeping symptoms of eternal flame Regard my spirit in caress of every thought that bears your name The dancing spectacle of winter showers feisty flirt For hours dry white cotton in a lightly dusted skirt Across the tundra of my heart in merrily made sounds A temptress of the tropic stratospheres where cheer abounds Against the wind, against the grain of sorrows given pass A wicked wanton laughter into gear and hits the gas And over hill and dale to flee the chilly drifted tracks Upon the ski of power poured against the will it lacks Shimmering upon the droop of sleepy afternoon To curl upon the sable rug and swallow up the moon And dream again in silent self-reliant rainy days The happiness you’ve gifted me in all the times and ways Copyright Kkh 1/10/04 |

Seems that about all you need to go with this treat of a poem is a roaring fire... a hot cocoa and a large bag of popcorn, freshly popped...sans kernels...(Old Maids excluded, of course)... Hi K! |

"Across the tundra of my heart in merrily made sounds A temptress of the tropic stratospheres where cheer abounds" Great lines -- Actually -- I should've copied the whole thing if I were going to say, "great lines," but got too lazy. Wonderful, wonderful poem. Library. |
