Cold and Lonely Wisteria

Cold and Lonely Wisteria

Oh how I know you are delicate!
Losing your hair like Wisteria
when my core’s heat is absent
to keep you warm on a bitter night.

Your vines, they lay restless
missing my touch’s lulling nature,
and do they quiver with a flowering bud
blanketed in a bed numbing as ice.

The colors in your palette fade
chill as the surrounding air,
yet you still find a way to melt down
bawling into a beautiful delight.

See Me

Daylight not saving...waiting,

my sun travels the sky behind,

for she doesn't see me- see me!

Abandonment is all she provides.

I grieved, unattended to,

blazoned for her warmth to show,

till all drifted upon me were cold

shoulders,

where I had become one with the snow.

My life dwindled and slowed,

watered drops frozen to molds.

A stranger alerted, sheltered my globe,

wanted not to know, but to elope.

She'd only row, just attentive at most,

like a partner eager to yearn,

she paddled my boat,

and with a wise two words I spoke...

"You discern"!
