Natures Finest Hour

by Chelsey   Aug 10, 2012


The air catches my frosted breath as I try
warming your ear, with the heated whisper
of , "I love you"

Suffocating sand is coated by 3 feet
of winters first hello, and I'm awestruck
by the twinkle in your iris; reflecting images
of the sun extending her arms to Earth

The ocean at shore is iced, immobilized
The only remedy in the atmosphere
are distant waves and descending snowflakes
that soon dangle upon your cheek bones

The horizon denies this season
and rays beam through her matted,
shades of navy and grey clouds

Wrapped in your chest, I look
around this isolated land and think...

I need you the way this beach
needs a hundred people
I crave you like this sea
craves a sunny day

We rest upon abandoned driftwood,
you kiss the end of my frigid red nose
Its moments like these that I find
peace in natures finest hour

    I've read this a while back but couldn't bring myself to comment. This is just breathtaking.

    I love the "winters first hello" as a subtle image of snow; it's so unique and creative.
    And the sun extending her arms to earth is just amazing. Brilliant wording and imagery here.

    And this here, Chelsey, is an excellent analogy. I wonder how you thought of that.

    You've written about a special, timeless moment and incorporated nature with it flawlessly. You're brilliant. Keep it up!

    Wanted to come back to this to tell you how much I got out of this poem. I loved reading it Chelsey!

    What really caught my eye was how you started out with describing that chill, that frostiness in the air yet the warmth of another person being able to make you know peace and tranquillity...

    It reminded me a lot of today, storming all day and it was in the low 60's though it's summer. It felt just like winter.

    Great feeling in this poem, you make it your own and your voice (and nature's) comes alive uniquely.
    Take care always :)

    You can be very creative whenever you're writing love poems, and to mix that with descriptions from nature is just dazzling
    I enjoyed reading
