Snowpowder* Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)
Snowpowder*
Snowpowder sprinkled in my hair
I reach for her, but she’s not there.
Her soft golden hair, no longer by my side,
her emerald eyes, that for me were blind.
Deep pools of green, I can’t deny.
Her skis are gone, the track is fresh,
the first ripples of pain, stir beneath my breast.
From this moment forth, I’ll know no rest.
A single tear lies upon my cheek
A silver pear; a glistening streak
My heart is broken, I cannot speak.
I can see her face within the mist
still see her smile
that from enjoyment grew
still see the pleasure
within her eyes, that I once knew.
I can see the movement of her lips
those tender lips when she spoke to me
the feel of them that set me free.
I hear her laughter on the wind
a honey sweet voice like morning dew.
So clear and still hanging on the breeze
it stirs my heart, sucks forth my breath.
Snowpowder sprinkled in my hair
Desperation, Grief, Despair.
A silent cry an inward tear
a choked-up so bursting from within
a heart-reaching moan
that split the air.
My hand she took in a last embrace
with a parting kiss she sealed my fate
my body rocks, now convulsively shakes.
The sun is bright now, sky cream white blue
but my heart is cold still, dead through you.
Our love was strong once wild and free.
Like a flower growing in scorching desert sands
the fragrance of it, captivated me.
The beauty withers
Its time is past.
The seeds are sown
Some may last.
Alone in the snow
This life I part.

The scenery like a Christmas postcard and the pain of the lost love, the single tear, tugs at the heart.

I told 'Snow powder' to not fall onto ur hair anymore if it only bring a solitude together, hahahaha actually this is very heart touching poem, i don't know is it from real experience or not, but it feel like a real because the emotion is there...Love is warm and snow will melt by it, so don't worry about that because one day summer will take place from your winter feeling...this poem is perfect for your up coming publication book! great... if this poem presented as song it definitely fit with piano, cello, violin and harp....hahahah just wondering how 'cold' of snowpowder will be felt...10
