Snow Globe

Encased
You and I
Frosted
Sugared
Laced
World white washed
Stars hang as ornaments
Christening gown
Roof tops crowned.
Street lights
newly born
as tall elegant swans
powdered with fairy wands.
the window pane
our picture frame
as we look beyond..
swaddled in bed
snow angels
wings spread
Falling
Falling
like flakes on tongue
soft felt
Into each others skin
We melt.

'Encased

You cause your reader to 'dance' with the voice as they can imagine a snow frenzy of love...the two of you walking becoming one with each other and the frosted colored snow.

In the lines that follow, you flash the reader through the beauty that is winter...what better way then to spend it 'swaddled in bed' as you compare your union to that of snow angels melting under loveā??s heat...luv it--sexy 'white' imagery!!!

I love the imagery in this it builds up a beautiful picture. The opening lines:

Encased
You and I
Frosted
Sugared
Laced

are particularly good I think, and the ending also works well.Lovely.

This poem makes me want to leave the stagnating heat of the southern US, find a place covered in a blanket of fresh snow that still falls, and find shelter in the warmth of a lover's embrace. Thanks for that, because before I read this, my thoughts lacked any sense of poetry or romance.
