Love in Flames

In the quiet of the night
Before dawns revealing light
Love is flame that lights the sky
She is the only reason why.

She rests safe in night's repose
Flames dance above and below
Out of reach but still in sight
She is the quiet of my night

Breaking dawn becomes the light
Love in flames has taken flight
Lost within the light of day
Morning truth holds love at bay

Bring the quiet of the night
When love's bright fire is my light

and black crystal nights
with a thousand
fiery stars

unless
it serves you
being alone does not crowd my
thinking
its
being
alone with you

The Sound of Snow

The sound of snow......
it is all of these together
or separately
or combined
and sometimes
none of them at all,
like a dark still night
where sound just doesn't belong.

....it is a kitten landing on a feather pillow,
a single thin piece of paper
floating from side to side
then settling on the ground in one graceful slide,
it is a wind through a spider's web,
long silk hair tussled by a breeze
....snow is not silent it is discrete,
hiding in the open
....a three year old's sleeping breath,
a tear of joy escaping down a red round cheek
....the sound of snow is
