Christine Natale Poems

Rest easy my darling
Though first snows are falling
They’re early this year, yes I know
Come back to your pillow
...

It is hard to write a love poem
When you’re not in love.
I long to sing of flowers of fire
And burning stars above.
...

Ever since I was thirteen
I have watched for you.
I know, I have always known
No mortal man could ever do or give
...

Ah, Johannes
Do you not see me?

I dance for you -
...

There is always a circle of golden around her
In the depth of the winter, a midsummer glow
Her presence illumines the terrible blackness
Of midnight despair and lessens the woe.
...

Will there be heroes
When dawn breaks tomorrow?
Will there be heroes
When the sun comes again?
...

He looked into my eyes, the only part of me visible
Beneath the heavy weight of veils and jewels
I knew He was the only one who saw me tremble
Both with fear and with happiness
...

I thought that I was casual
And could give my kisses free -
That I could take him to my bed
As the shoreline takes the sea.
...

Northwest mist hides soft fir tree horizon.
We drive around curves through cold violet gray.
The day never really changes;
A full day of morning.
...

Some say that childhood is golden,
As it well may be
But I have seen the gold well hidden
And racked by infant pain unbidden
...
