Quiet was your love when it fell into and around me
Like a mantel of virgin snow resting on my barren land.
Your kiss caught my breath, like a January wind
Bringing tears to jaded eyes, as you held my hand.
My heart revived and new, beat as if it never loved before
Surrendered passion’s promise beyond reason to explore.
Your arms held part of me that will not be held again
Our hearts beat in perfect time, then, alas, sweet Winter’s end.
Reach for me now, as I melt with tears your frozen heart
Listen to the sound of infinity, while we drift apart
Like snow in the wind, in silence you left me . . . quietly I wept
Forgiving tears of heartbreak, for promises unkept.
