a frosty chill nips
at our noses as we
weave our way through
the falling snow,
the smile on your
rosy lips lighting the
dreary winter landscape
in a merry glow.

As your gloved hands hold me
tight against your chest
and your chin finds its place
upon my shoulder,
the towering evergreens
around us sigh;
their breath enveloping us in
a peaceful calm that
settles in my bones.

the silent night around us
sings as we stand together
in perfect harmony
marveling at the
winter wonderland before us;
these ancient laurels watch
as an all too familiar
magic unfolds—
a new love blossoming
amidst winter’s
heavy arms.

deluge

you swept over me like a sudden summer rain, your thunder echoed in my ears as your whispered words of endearment settled into the dimples of my cheeks, warming them with the dying rays of a hazy summer sun; and like lightning dancing in the heat your calloused hands danced across sunburnt shoulders until the skies turned an inky grey— and I was drenched.

My head above water

footprints in a parking lot caffeine highs and marijuana lows He took residence in that lonely spot sometimes I guess that's just how it goes I left my heart on my bedside now he's where hope resides with each slow step he seems to guide me out of the dark and into his eyes watch he keeps my head above water watch he keeps my head above water In these waves I keep my thoughts, my dreams, my heart asleep I need to believe that something extraordinary is possible logic finds no other ways to make me responsible when my calculations all answer to you watch he keeps my head above water watch he keeps my head above water he keeps my

Sink or swim

He stood on the dock One foot reluctantly planted The other standing at the ready Like that fleeting moment Suspended in mid-air Gleefully anticipating the water on your skin Yet apprehensive of those undiscovered depths Which have yet to be kissed by sunlight She dove in head-fist Through the reeds and the icy darkness And watched from below As the light fragmented Along the rippled surface How stunning it was Even in the deepest and feared unknown Especially there. In the light and in the dark There was only him He watched as she held her breath Shackled by his own mind Wanting for that planted foot To be freed from its hesitations

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

'nothing' is a raptor

*** Listen to me read this piece: When I tell you "it's nothing" you usually hear: the clouds are dark and rough like elephant skin and I'm caught up in the folds of an ear, tangled and desperate for relief but unsure how to flip myself an escape. You usually hear: the world is still turning on its axis and I am left breathless, breaking.... broken in more ways than I can count on my hands, broken in more ways than I can put a name to, broken in more ways than I can ever explain. It's not that simple, really. Really, "nothing" is a raptor dragging furrows down my sides, screaming unintelligible. "nothing" is horseshoes and handgrenade

christmas contest love pine poetry snow

For Full-of-Lit's Winter Holiday Contest and Bright-Poets' Christmas Contest. The theme for this poem was inspired by the classic Christmas scent of pine. I really wanted to make this a whimsical but nostalgic piece because this is one of my favorite scents and I wanted this to represent how this smell makes me feel.

Hope you enjoy!
