The Winter Solstice Of My Heart
speak to me eloquently
that I may bide time
to pardon my thoughts
thoughts that flutter
in the wind
the sun liquefies
my dreams
in winters eyes
peeking with
the kindest of intentions
wind that hath the power
sway my secrets
pardon my thoughts
thoughts that flutter
In the wind
winter will not freeze
summer will not burn
sun kissed snow flakes
glisten in your reflection
like crystal quartz
time makes love to winter,
I bathe in your memory
wind that hath the power
sway my secrects
frozen in this heart
winter will not freeze
summer will not burn
thoughts of you
melt winter
in the solstice of my heart

| Is it just me, or does this seem like it would work really well as a song? I love the imagery. |

I like the end...
"winter will not freeze
summer will not burn
thoughts of you
melt winter
in the solstice of my heart"
Love eternal and unchanged. |

I was speaking with a friend of mine about the unique voices here on ER and other than three others your poetry stands out to me as something different than the rest. this piece exemplifies that. It's overly rich with details but not sickeningly so, you know what I mean? It's saturated and the language is lush, so the reader can feel, hear taste it all. This piece has an almost ritualistic chant feel to it, particularly in the way you repeat certain lines. classic Joni here. :)
(bid in second line should be 'bide') |

| I noticed the same line as our friend Kerosene, and agree with him, this poem has some cool lines. |

Some great lines in this poem.
Really like this:
the sun liquefies
my dreams
in winter eyes
peeking with
the kindest of intentions
