Love Poem: Whisper
Frances Schiavina Avatar
Written by: Frances Schiavina

Whisper

Gold wheat gathered
red wine bottled
rocking by 
crackling fire

Heart starts a song
at a name it recalls
snow tears on city lights
falling

Through cracks in the door
a whisper once loved
beat of a heart 
now drumming
 
Restless and torn
by the rosebud crumb
once in love meadow
now in a mall

Moonlight curtained
by strobe lights frenzy
gadgets to distance
romancing

Four seasons dimmed
by two dark emotions
summer red anger
ice cap silence

Easter bells ringing
joy of forgiving
Grace melting ice 
to tearing

Breaking new day
four seasons rainbow
meadows in flower
roses buds in love
