Finding Winter Now

by slighte   Sep 18, 2012


Darling, all I wanted
was to write you
as a poem so you could see
yourself as something beautiful.
To take your limbs and despairs
and weave them in and out
as words in the wind.

You need not ask me for purpose.

All I wanted was to take your hollow
bones and fill them like time, pour in
symphonies of you I tried to write.
Hours might pass faster if you could hear
yourself as music.

I know that you're tired.

I wanted to find winter now for you,
to prove grace exists even in darkness.
Grace exists in darkness. I wanted to
take your winter and give it to trees.

But I could never write like you do and
I was never an artist like you are. So

darling, write yourself as a poem.

    This author knows love poetry...WOW! She took me away into the wide world of Romance with this elegant love gem!

    "Darling, all I wanted

    ^^^ I melted with this beginning stanza, I was a puddle of mush from the very start!
    To write her love as a poem, describing how beautiful he is through words, I really adore the creative twist she took here.

    In my mind, she wants him to see his image within poetry. I got chills for she sees him as more of a poetic piece of art than he sees his self perhaps. I was left speechless by the ending as well.. What a beautiful and creative love poem! Outstanding!!

    Planning on time, is saving blames. The difference made, lies within Time.

    I absolutely love that section, it really caught my attention.

    The entire poem is beautiful, it feels like a mixture o love and bitterness (:

    HA! I also wrote a poem called Finding Winter Now, what are the chances? They are both love poems, but nothing alike.

    i.e. Yours is better.

      Oh man really? Oops I seem to remember seeing the title on a prompt list somewhere but that's probably a false memory and I just saw yours and stole the title.. Sorry D: Na I wouldn't say mine is better, rather they are just different haha. Thanks (:
