Canadian Lovers
Frosted trees with white limbs drooping
shiver in an Arctic gale
scraping against stoic log walls
as ice is born in a water pail
French whispers, heavy with intent,
make a candle's flame bend low
a fiery warrior slaying wax
like Springtime sun slays Winter's snow
Through frozen boughs and swirling flakes
a squall of passion intertwines
concealing naught from forest folk
behind pale windows and dying vines
Two figures meld beneath warm furs
made warmer by their own desire
lips and tongues carressing flesh
like flames carressing wood with fire
Northern sunsets notwithstanding
the candle makes its own display
mirrored in eyes that burn with love
even more stronger than yesterday
C. Lon R. Bruso
shiver in an Arctic gale
scraping against stoic log walls
as ice is born in a water pail
French whispers, heavy with intent,
make a candle's flame bend low
a fiery warrior slaying wax
like Springtime sun slays Winter's snow
Through frozen boughs and swirling flakes
a squall of passion intertwines
concealing naught from forest folk
behind pale windows and dying vines
Two figures meld beneath warm furs
made warmer by their own desire
lips and tongues carressing flesh
like flames carressing wood with fire
Northern sunsets notwithstanding
the candle makes its own display
mirrored in eyes that burn with love
even more stronger than yesterday
