Winter's Gentle Parting

Snow is falling on wet trees

It melts upon the ground

We come from winter into spring

The air is sweet and sound

x

Walk along in empty streets

Under a cloudy sea

It's sopping wet, but I'm content

For you are here with me

x

Warm and gay gray evening comes

Yet you are hiding there

Behind cascading ebony

Such ever lovely hair

x

Come out of there I say

Lower your collar please

As I am very curious

And you are fun to tease

x

Then you look at me that way

With veiled eyes glowing bright

A faint glimmer of amusement

That makes my heart take flight

x

My hands are spread at the sky

To embrace the raining

I want to dance beneath its fall

But you're slowly fading

x

Do not leave just yet, Vincent

There is still time to play

Unless you smile for me tonight

You will just have to stay

x

His upturned lips do just that

So genuine and true

That I could nearly melt right there

Exclaiming like a mew

x

"Inside with you" he tells me

That wasn't what I said

Calmly he ignores my protest

And drags me off to bed


Author's Note:
I can't believe I'm writing poetry . Well, this was inspired by all the warm weather we've been having up here, and how it was snowing and raining all day today, and there's still quite a bit of snow on the ground too.

A 'mew' is a type of gull, by the way.

Thanks for reading! Just for the record, I hate Quick Edit...
