"snowlight" poems
Startled by my reflection
In the open window
Living room straight back
through the kitchen
Blue snowlight
Stares through me
Seeing out all day long, forgetting
The night drops black curtains quiet
when no one's looking, instead
Of out
I see in
Brave and solitary
The one waits true
Bright unsecret
Blood rushing real
Whispering cure
He can see pain and touch it
away
with golden sincerity

*A frosted veil
with haunting voice
Ice shattered
raining from skies
A world below
but I know it not
Starlight above
a longing for love*

If I was meant to kiss your
Lips are sealed on our transgressions of the
Night, sacred sidewalk, we stroll down the road in the
Twilight's half light ushers in snowlight
In winter, your hand is mine.
In spring, the snow is melting
Slowly I want to feel the years melt by with
You are exquisite, my dear, my
Mango paradise and lazy hot summer
Sunshine brushes your hair with gold
Foil my character flaws, and I hope I make you
Happy and content only that I am madly in love with you.
Take a step back: imagine if we had never
Met some guy yesterday who told me our love is
Beautiful are the leaves that burn in the
Fall deeper into the spiral that is your
Light packing is all I need to fly to you.
The little things matter; like when your
Laugh because we have today and smile because I have claimed your
Hand it to you, you know how to make me feel like you
Love me, as magpies do, iridescent and for
Life is brighter when you're
Here.
My words to you are broken sometimes but you make me whole.

Snowlight
White snowlight, glowlight, brightening the woods
By praying down the sky to float among
The dark and creaking pillars of ancient oaks
Whose trunks and limbs are black with clinging ice
Drear, mouldering autumn leaves now lie at rest
Beneath soft-shoaling ripples of rare snow
Pale, iridescent light dances between
The clouds and the ground, and then back again
Shadowless colorings, pearlings, and frosts
At play with miracles in January.
