Sleeping Beauty
Within this crystal chalice -
A kiss of liquid fire,
The banked and ebbing embers,
In remembered warm desire.
Borne down now by its burden,
A seed at the glistened tip,
The bud of Springtimes flowers,
Entombed in an icy grip.
And slow its heart is beating,
Its breath is a gentle sigh,
For it dreams an awakening kiss to come,
With a warm soft air in the sky.
When the glass of its bed has been shattered,
To lie in shards at its feet,
While with gentle languid motions,
It will draw on its clothes, discreet.

I am not a poet, so I will post a winter poem by Robert Frost.....
Dust of Snow |

by Robert Frost (1923) |

The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued.

It’s amazing that you can just pop up with a poem like that whenever you want to.
It’s like you pull them out of your hat or sumthin’ ...
