Drift(s)(ing)

And you 
like woods
and my
fingers falling
like snow
I land
upon limbs
covering them
in lightest
layers of
quiet affection
shifting now
back to
side my
snow blows
from head
to toe

SnowGlobe

And I 
sitting here
and you
sitting there
each watching
it snow
and wondering
what if
we were
just maybe
two lovers
in a
snow globe
of our
own making

Brighten

Here sitting 
and gazing
at the
highest peaks
as dawn
quietly kisses
their snow
I don’t
feel cold
but warm
knowing that
like your
smile brightens
me this
sun also
brightens them
and this
is where
I live
my life

Sip

There’s just 
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love

MiseryClouds

The clouds today 
are like tufting
laid out lengthwise
on a table
one after another
like the corpses
of fallen warriors
on and on
as far as
the eye sees
this morning’s clouds
herald a misery
not only seen
but silently felt
for anyone knowing
them this way
