first snowfall:
dust flittering, quietly
off an unattended shelf
books from my childhood
you have no idea
how little I knew
before I knew you.
lighthouse, alight home
your pillow is always the softest.
loving you is like walking in the door, warm
the snow soaks into my clothes
turning to water and
rinsing me clean
you’ve always felt like
the sky itself, nestled
in my veins
never quite the gambling man,
you said you never believed in luck
until you saw my chances
and cast a bet anyway.

So surreal!

This is so beautiful Elle, I love the concept of the sky being nestled in our veins…all the flittering emotions that are vastness of the sky. 🙂 💕

Elle, another beautifully written poem from deep within your heart. This portrays so much more than just first snow. It has a deep meaning that expresses life itself. I love the poem. I especially like the ending about “and cast a bet anyway.” Stan

I love that your love poems are not maudlin or syrupy. They have a wonderful feeling to them without being over emotional.

I really love this one, it is sweet and also feels so tangible and cozy. Would I be able to re-blog this? Sometimes I write posts reflecting on pieces that have really struck me, and link back to them. Here’s an example! https://serialoutlet.wordpress.com/2018/03/25/parallel-outlet-12/
Let me know if that sounds okay! 🙂
