A beautiful white blanket
Covers the ground
Not a soul was outside yet
You couldn't hear a sound

The first snowfall
How majestic are the trees
Painted with pure white
They are so beautiful and bright

Here comes the plows
Salt trucks too
Covering the beautiful painting
With black and some blue

What a shame
Let nature be
At least the didn't salt the trees

The trees stand stark and bare
Against winters lead grey sky
The snow lays cold and deep
And the earth asleep doth lie
No small birds sing, no little things
Move across the land
The earth in hibernation, a long sleep
As winter makes her stand
I awake one morn in the early dawn
And warmth has come once more
A small bird sings a green leaf springs
From natures open door
Once again the earth awakes and life begins anew
And the bitter cold of winter
Has vanished like the dew
I first posted this a couple of years ago but waking to a dusting of snow this morning I thought I'd repost it
She sat quietly in her hotel room
Waiting patiently for him again
Where was he this time?
Could this be the end?

Her long brown hair was perfectly groomed
Yet how was her heart filled with such gloom?

She waits and she waits for a knock n the door
Several hours go by
She falls asleep on the floor

Never a knock, he never showed
Three in the morning, she's lost her glow

She checks her phone
No calls or text
What is she supposed to do next?

She loves him so
How doesn't he know?

Her world is falling apart
No putting back the pieces of her broken heart

She drank the bottle of vintage wine
The ice in the bucket had melted
Her heat bled from inside

She walked to the balcony
How can this be?
A warm summer breeze hits her
How could he do this to me?

She looks down the fifteen flights
As she gulps the wine
Thinking to herself
This is the time

She finishes her last sip
She's feeling very numb
Can she do this
Yes, the time has come

She gets up on the railing
Looking at the pavement far below
Should she jump?
Will he ever know?

Just then came the knock
It was now four am
Could it be him?

She gets down from he rail
Runs to the door
It's the police
Someone called from next door

They said she was seen
Looked like she was about to jump
She felt her throat close, into a huge lump

No words came out
Only tears
The ambulance arrived
Just as she feared

No she's not crazy
He really exists
This wasn't the first time
They took her away to the abyss

The doctors were waiting
Nurses looking sad
Here she comes again
They knew what she had

Her husband died years ago
She couldn't seem to let it go
She waits for him in a psychotic state
Still thinking he's coming, her one and only soul mate

She doesn't understand
And she never will
Her heart is dead
As well as her brain
All she keeps thinking now is "am I insane?"

Like a fog that blinds,
her smile dazzles you.
Like a chain that binds
her eyes imprison you.

She's a work of art.
She's such a hard worker.
She could break my heart
and she's mine all mine.

The longest dark hair
and her curvy features.
Plus two small hands
that make cute gestures.

She's a work of art.
She's such a hard worker.
She could break my heart
and she's mine all mine.
I'm breaking
And I crumble
I'm falling
And I fumble
I'm grieving
With this sorrow
I'm losing
These memories we made
I'm hoping
Even if nobody hears
I'm crying
But no one sees my tears
I'm screaming
But no one hears me
I'm begging
Without a sign of forgiveness
I'm breaking
I need someone to understand
I'm fading
Some one please help me

But don't worry,
**I'm fine.....
I wrote this poem because this is what I really feel this past few days
