Wrap me in your cloak
Beneath the white of your caress
A welcomed blessing left upon me
From a vampire weather sky
Soft redemption on the colors
Muted out beneath your covers
We are winter wonderlovers
If you fall, then so will I
Overtake the sleepers
Unsuspecting in their beds
Pronounce a silent revolution
On the surface of our world
Bestow the gifts preserved in vapor
Like a cold and gentle savior
For obscuring our behavior
Under blankets where we curl
Firelight and frost
Can flirt obsessively on glass
Just out of reach of each the other
Like a pair of star-crossed dreams
And we can lie beneath the thinking
We are children bent for breaking
With our seasons ever changing
And these stains upon our wings
Take me in your arms
And sprinkle kisses in my hair
I taste the melted drops of summer
Stored and frozen on your lips
If there are better ways to cleanse us
If the shadows can’t defend us
Make us blank beneath your canvas
Keep us safe in all of this

Stored and frozen on your lips
If there are better ways to cleanse us
If the shadows can’t defend us
Make us blank beneath your canvas
Beautiful!! Simply beautiful.
Thank you kindly, Sarah 🙂
Mokawk snowmen
Snowball fights
The blankets we wrapped up in
On cold winter nights
Best of company
Fireside
Sleeping comfy
Side by side
Holding hands
‘neath frosty glove
Learning to understand
While snow falls from above
Blue eyes searching
In the white of the season
In the wind, the snow twirling
Love because there’s no need for more reason
Walks in the park
Lovers hush
Driving in the vampire dark
Through the icy slush
City lights on winter nights
And days of lazy grey
Love in winter is better in white
Take me the long way
Ah, what a beautiful winter poem. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your art! I feel as though I should light a fire in the fireplace now…
It’s such a perfect way to spend a moment of your day.
So beautiful! I wish I could write like that.
Hugs,
Deb xx
Oh, I am not at all to be envied. My writing is so random and uneducated…I really know nothing about poetry. I’m sure I break plenty of rules and I wouldn’t know how to hold an intelligent conversation on the topic. I just enjoy art and expression 🙂 Thank you for the very kind words Debbie!
And your art is better off for it, Vampireweather – you have a rare, natural talent which should continue to roam free – you are certainly one of the best poets that I have read in the Blogosphere
That is very kind of you to say, my friend. If by “roam free” you mean “continue to be uneducated about poetry” then I should be free for a while yet to come 😉 I love reading poetry because it is from people. As long as people are producing it, I’m sure I can find something beautiful in it. Poems to me possess a certain melodic quality that inspires me. Our capacity for imagination as humans is truly a gift we must never forsake. Thank you again for your encouragement. Since I have only recently begun allowing people to read my writing, it is always good to have my courage reinforced 🙂
The rhythm, sentiments and beautiful imagery in this inspiring poem remind me of “Spring and Fall” by Gerald Manley Hopkins.
Well thank you! I am not quite on that level but I am grateful for the comparison 🙂
One of the best of your works, verse, timing everything is perfect and the content is tantalizing and sooooooooo deep. The world is better for your poetry. XX
Wow, that is truly a very cherished compliment. I do hope that is true. Your words are very encouraging 🙂
“Can flirt obsessively on glass
Just out of reach of each the other”
I can relate to this, somehow. Don’t ask how, i just know. 🙂
Beautiful…I miss the snowy winters.
Today we received our first snow of the winter, which prompted this as a mixture between current feelings and memories 🙂 it is my effort to spread snow to those who are deprived 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous! You have done it again VW! Sprinkle kisses in my hair, it makes me think everyone would want romance like this.
Awww thank you! Well, anyone standing in the snow could have romance like this. It’s all a matter of how you view your life and your experiences 😉
Such a beautiful night
Snowflakes are falling
In front of the streetlight
Such perfect weather
You know that I’m stalling
Bound by invisible tether
Such a warm embrace
You keep tears from falling
As you sweetly kiss my face
Such an intense gaze
To say you’ll miss me darling
I could stand like this for days
Melting snowflakes turn to tears
Down my cheek slowly falling
Feel I won’t see your blue eyes for years
A face? A hand? A touch? A sound?
Are these the things which make us “real”?
Encased in flesh, but spirit bound
I drift beyond this human cell
A thing may be unseen, but true
A soul may be unknown, but felt
A love may seem too far for you
But last long past when snow may melt
For love is far beyond what lies
Within the hand or near the skin
It is not always seen with eyes
For sometimes it must live within
The deepest part of who we are
When all else seems to fade or die
A love cannot be torn apart
So neither then are you and I
Days may roll to months and years
And still the time is powerless
To heal the burning of our tears
Or steal the loves that we confess
Retain that warmth within your chest
And do not fear for life or time
The heavens know we do our best
And they preserve that love divine
What have I done to deserve such a beautifully heartfelt and lovely response? I do not have words enough to thank you with.
Well, I wrote something after all tonight 😛
And was this inspired?
I should say so! Though I can’t speak for its quality
Well I certainly can. 🙂
beautiful and quite calming. true this is one of your better poems from those i’ve read. this is november and autumn is finally gone. winter darkens skies and covers in one shade of white our colors. but in the difference you found beauty.
lovely work
Very kind words, my friend. I appreciate you taking time to read and think about it 🙂
