Your sun-drenched smile has thawed my winter walls
Ice, so thick, no one could enter.
The dark cave where I have hid myself
From all others,
No matter their intentions,
No longer cloaks me in my sorrow.
You have done
Nothing but bring your warmth
Nothing but smile completely
Melting, melting lonely frost
Like the sun passing its vernal equinox
Calling Inanna from the underworld.
I know this spring
Cannot, will not last
But it’s call,
It’s warm winds
Gently lifts my hopes.
And demands emergence
From my winter worries.
As I stand exposed
Willing to risk the pain of connecting,
Of connections.
I hope for a fleeting moment,
Bathed in gentle breezes
And soft scented kisses.
