Blizzard



in blistering blizzard
they seek warmth
by the fireplace
of memories

she, narrates stories
of frozen icicles
that melt with time
and promises
into dewdrops

his fingers encircle
the arc under her eyes
drawing lines
of velvet dreams
with colors seven
he carves rainbow
under the snow

in blistering blizzard
they hear love
knocking at the door

she hesitates
he hesitates
they hesitate

would it be wise
to be safe, and not squander
what's already in store

  9. Fear of ruining without having a glance is what makes you stare at the opportunity but what they don't realize is if the don't take it when there is time the moment just passes them by....Nice Poem! :)
