images of winter

This one, written for that girl at my FILIPI2 class again. The one that I dedicated poems to and the one who brought out her boyfriend for the last class of the year. Yeah, that one.

images of winter

the snow gently falls
on this prairie land
this place is now desolate,
covered with white sand
i stand on this ground
with a wilted flower in hand
as the snow turns to hailstone
in this barren land

like stilettos of ice
they pierce through me
this imminent rain
which has made me flee
i seek shelter
under a withering tree
but the casted downpour
quickly cease

the sun slips out
like a horse on all fours
it will melt this snow
in time and in due course
this cold winter dream
has now run its course
i arise from this reverie
without remorse
