An icy chill, frigid within
Snaps me out of a reverie,
While the days wear thin,
The time is indeed a memory.
Snowflakes frozen clear
While trees are laid bare,
Toward renewed, we veer,
Awaiting the refreshed ware.
Started off with 'a poem a day' for NaPoWriMo 08, now onward to further endeavors!
An icy chill, frigid within
Snaps me out of a reverie,
While the days wear thin,
The time is indeed a memory.
Snowflakes frozen clear
While trees are laid bare,
Toward renewed, we veer,
Awaiting the refreshed ware.
A new book, I open,
I smile at the blanks
The pages that await
me to fill them up.
Words flow, in bursts
I aspire a deluge
but, sometimes its dry
I don’t give up
Mediocrity seems to
be my trait, defined.
Quality, while sought,
Quantity persists.
A start, that’s half way
To the destination
of completion, of the end
And, that is my aim.
Today, in the time of morn,
a renewed winter dawn,
There's a faint pink hue
That outshines the sky’s blue.
There’s a feeling forlorn
But, love over me fawns,
I am long overdue,
for a taste of morning dew.
The day passes now reborn,
While some ‘brights’ are spawned
I wish some joy, I could woo
A fresh start, I begin anew.
A day, special as ever,
Etched in mind, forever,
Remembrance from afar
Wishing upon the lovely star.
Seeking a stairway to heaven,
if only time could leavened.
There are words left incomplete
Waiting for when we meet.
Without cards, nor flowers.
Sorrow beyond our powers,
A milestone - today would be
If only you were here to see.
Always, loved beyond measure,
every moment in past, treasured.
There's an ache that persists,
A void that never ceases to exist.
I pretend I am a nurturer
I whisper into the air
My endearments of love
And, thus my gloom, I forswear
I wear a cloak of sainthood
Where nothing fazes me
As I march on alleviating
The distresses of humanity
And, yet the once I pause
Assessing my balance sheet
The moment I seek a miracle
The universe has me beat.
