The Cold Days Of Winter Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE
The Cold Days Of Winter
The cold days of winter and long nights together
When we shared the bond of a close family,
The memories still clear of the home I was raised in
Yet so long ago now but I can still see,
The fire gently burning and lighting the darkness
And warming our hands there against the harsh chill,
We talked and then listened to gramophone music
So happy those nights that were peaceful and still.
And watching the snow as it gathered on ledges
Then crept up the window in soft candle light,
The glow on the walls as so faintly it flickered
And burned through the evening and into the night,
So little we had and yet we were so lucky
For we'd got each other while others had none,
Together we sat by the warmth of the fire
And there we did stay till the last flame had gone.
Then falling in slumber and sleeping in arm chairs
With eyes feeling heavy and resting our heads,
Then climbing the staircase as embers were glowing
And bidding goodnight as we went to our beds,
Those cold days of winter and long nights together
Shall never return for those years have gone by,
Yet deep in my heart I will always remember
Just watching the flames slowly fade and then die.
Another beautiful write Andrew, you have an awesome sense of flow. Regards Ann

Andrew, very lovely and beautiful minor-poem, it is visible that in heart there is lighted fire... And so has gracefully warmed soul....10.......... Sincerely, Tsira
Brautifully written, Andrew. So soft and perfect is the picture created by your words that I can almost feel the warmth of the fire. Very nostalgic indeed. 10+ my friend. Richard
What a beautifull write reflecting with each and every warm memory in your heart witten with so much beautifull colour and painted so warmly that the reader can actually hear the crackling of fire, smell the wood buring, and hear the glistning of an evening's snow fall....You write so peacefull and tranquil... Excellent as always... A ten from me.........
Thank you for sharing your memories with us Andrew, I too remember winter nights as a child, you make it all sound so cosy and safe, 10 Lynda xxx
