My hands are cold and numb
So is my heart
Winter is my friend
Making me cold
Making me colder than you
You are the moon
Distant and calm
Lost in your own spark
Smiling indifferently
As my love waxes or wanes
Hi Nosheen, Love brings Spring in one’s life. Rather, love is spring, with all its colours and fragrance and nectar and sweetness. Thus, “Winter Of Love” is a handsome expression signifying loss of love or fading love, between two persons who have been very close. “Distant moon” is an equally interesting metaphor, augmenting the melancholy mood of the poem. Loved this one, Nosheen.
Beautiful metaphored poem. TOP Marks, The graphic is brilliantly chosen and so are the words. Gorgeous!
So many takes on moon in poetry! This moon seems to be a cold narcissist that draws you into its orbit for its own gratification. Compare: Like the moon her kindness is If kindness I may call What has no comprehension in it But is the same for all As though my sorrow were a scene Upon a painted wall -Yeats
Distant moon is calm and in cold weather reflecting calmness of love. So heart is tenderly painted with this calm love. A powerfully imagined poem is excellently penned.10

An outcry of the heart with a plea to the winter not to make so cold the mortal body by putting to the test instead be gentle like moon waning and waxing, Awesome poem well supported by fantastic and eye catching picture. Loved it....
