while i endured
your winter love
of icicle words
and frosty lips
piercing my heart
and freezing my mind
i prayed for summer
to break me from your hold
and it soon arrived
in the form of someone else:
a beautiful golden angel
who carried me away
in tender, forgiving arms
who kissed me softly
and filled me with light
i flourished
in their summer love
of flower words
and sun-dappled lips
nurturing my heart
and warming my mind
