out on the new horizon
sun has driven back the stars
an hour earlier today
yet still you hang on
your cold breath dripping
between the pine trees
climbing the back steps,
to draw on the kitchen windows
you never really planned
on leaving for good did you...
but the joke is on you, my friend;
i stole sun's crooked little smile,
wrapped it carefully in my pocket
to secretly gaze upon
should you clog the sky yet again
you can prance up the back steps
with your icy footprints;
sun and i will be snoozing
out on the front deck -
it may only be for an hour or more
but plenty long enough for me
to laugh bravely in your face
and throw you...
right back down those steps

Phhooo...there's too much steam on the kitchen window my friend -- hope this poem is written in your senses...or the oneness you have been dreaming of :)
no body comes to go before we go, or to stay forever, i'm afraid,
but when we say of stealing the sun or its smile -- we say dream on! :)

Devika - Ha! you think sun is not hiding in my pocket?? Silly you :) Thanks always for your words.
Gosh many thanks Margie for those kind words.

Sandy - a lovely comment and I thank you.
Ah mon amie - you are so very generous in your words...
And with good riddance!
Snowed yesterday, again.
It'll be glorious, if spring occurs.
I have no problems whatsoever, Janice...Just take care you don't burn yourself! :)

You might have a point Devika since hopefully by next year's summer I will be living in India...in your hometown actually. :)
Goatman - yes it will!(on both accounts :) - it will happen and it will be glorious) - has been lightly snowing here as well for past 3 days...sigh
