The ninth of December came with snow, the first snowfall of the year, and
With it, came a sense of warmth, of belonging
It brought hot chocolate with marshmallows, and layers and layers of warm clothing, and fuzzy socks
And you
It was a Saturday,
Mundane and grey
Until the first snowflake caught my eye
How it fell so gracefully, so fearlessly
How it felt, like kisses from the sky
How it was the beginning of winter,
And the beginning of us.
With snowflakes in my hair and on my coat, how the cold hugged me so tight
I hadn’t felt so warm in a while
Then came the first date, ice-skating hand-in-hand as the snow fell
And so did I, but you never once let me hit the ground
Our hands more intertwined, your grip tighter than ever
And I knew I wouldn’t let you go
Here we are, a year later
The ninth of December, the sky is grey
Snow on your windowsill, our bodies intertwined in bed
Hot chocolate with marshmallows, our clothes on the floor
The snow looks beautiful as ever, and I could only hope
That I get to see the first snowfall of every year with you keeping me warm
Hey,
I’m working on my debut poetry book.
I am preparing a mailing list. Would you like me to add your e-mail address please? If so, can you share it with me?
I don’t plan to do it like hard core promotion, I will just inform you when it’s available and when there is some huge fluctuation in price (sale etc.), as on WordPress reader, posts get lost in stampede.
Won’t be mailing you more than 5 to 6 times a year, max.
Won’t bother you with unnecessary e-mails, promise!
Thank you 🙂
