Glitter, Roses and Rain

Seasons Cannot Deter Love

The rest of the world still in a slumber,

She snuggles against his strong, careful arms

Like a newborn hungry for love and warmth.

He wraps his arms around her, half-asleep,

Listens to her heart humming his sweet name

He stirs and watches her sleeping figure,

Her peaceful face against the rays of dawn

Noon comes around, floating over the sky

With the summer sun watchfully gazing;

The clouds start to part ever so slightly,

Just like her lips when he starts to lean in

She blinks back at the continuous sun,

Just like her eyes blinking back at his own

As he skims over her lips lovingly

Outside, they hug each other in their warmth

Smugly tucked in their own forest of leaves

And balding trees, and the thinning daylight

Reflecting shades of red, orange and brown

He encloses a gloved hand over hers,

Closes his eyes as their shadows engulfed

Them in a cascading array; sunset

The ribbons of darkness wrap them two up

Like last-minute gifts, they hold each other

With his arm snaked around her slender waist

And her head gracefully on his shoulder

They’re surrounded in a Christmas snow globe,

In unwrapped presents and chocolate powder

Watching the evening pass by with the breeze
