WINTER DAY
Another spiteful day
Of bitter wind,
With ice
In the rain.
The only colour,
Small shoots
Of green wheat
Pushing through
Frozen ground.
The only comfort,
Your warm fingers
Curling around
Mine.
The only joy,
Your mouth
Hot as sunshine,
Bringing my cold lips
To life.

The poem is love. Its beautiful Gwen. Happy Valentines Day!
Would that I could give this two stars for it is lovely, and makes me feel better.
For now, the winter without has gone, but the winter within retains its icy claws.
Awwh, this is wonderful!!! Really lovely!!
Thank you so much, Kritika, and congratulations on Spillwords.
Gwen.
My pleasure always. 🙂
Thank you so much kindly. (Heart)
But the mandolin will help. I’m sure. It’s such lovely dancing music. I’m glad you liked
the poem and thank you for commenting.

I’m so glad you liked it – and so glad you wrote and told me so! Thank you.

You are so very, very welcome!! It was a delight to read – conjured up just the right emotions 🙂
I hope the writing is going as well as you’d hope? Stay well! 🙂
It is – and thank you for asking. It’s been a bit slow lately but picking up again. So happy
