The sun was bright, the melting snow
upon my cheek I thought was tears.
But crying wasn't what he liked -
what my love, my Robin liked -
so with strength that wasn't mine
I scorned my every fear.
The night was dark, but I was real
when he crept to my windowsill
and we softly crept away -
with my love I crept away -
to be back before hint of day
the night the angels killed.
We went walking later on
when all the world was green and light,
and they saw the bones -
the bones, my love -
they laughed so when I told them of
my fair child of night.
I still hear your tapping
each night upon my windowsill
and I wipe away the tears -
my love, you wipe away my tears -
and your quiet singing fills my ears
when the wind is still.
My love, my dearest Robin mine,
why was it you they chose?
I will not weep for you today -
my love would wipe the tears away -
but now I'm left in blinding day
with white bones in the snow.

This is without a doubt one of the most skillfully crafted poems I've ever read.
The last part...wow.
The way you write...its beautiful.
Please, keep posting.
