prima neve

by Maria Massarella

mine was not a thirsting when

seduced by your absence
I questioned winter’s siberian breath
scrutinized skies and horizons
the contour of every tree
and all that landscapes my vision

then drifting on revealing winds
I found you. barely perceptible
on my black cashmere scarf when
you were just the diamond dust
of the whole you would become

crisp your kisses elicited
the haste in my walk while
my anticipation’s eye envisioned
the imminence of your purifying tones
candid as the first touch

Ah, soft as any snowflake the eye has ever seen! A very nice write, no doubt, as soft as the hand with which it was written.

Excellent poem Maria. Crisp as the kisses that elicited it, to use your own words.

absorbing the sacredness the much needed *found you-ness* creativity at its most dizzying beauty

I love Winter as well, the Snow it brings, and the hush it delivers. This is beautiful, Maria, but then, I've come to expect that from you!
