snow in the wasteland

when fantasy crosses over
illusion pays the toll
moments gather
snowflakes in the wind
they shine and fall
cold on hot tongues
whispering wanton wishes
back across the divide
come together in the wasteland
where secret dreams abide

    Just love the metaphor here darling Butch – the snowflake image is perfect for what you’ve expressed here! And every time I read this I feel it in a different way. Beautiful, meaningful poetry as always, dear heart. Love it…and you.

  • back at you my dear…. and thank you for seeing my snowflakes…………. (how’s the nose?)…………xxx……….b

    The nose is better – lol – I can breathe anyway! It’s the rest of me that feels run over by a truck today! Probably the freezing cold and snow that’s coming down! Love you sweetie!
