something new

.

snow. the crunch of it under
her feet. the way the streets
whooooooosh
wet when the cars waltz by.
(where is everybody going?)

stars spilled, a crushed-glass ceiling
overhead. the moon’s borrowed
light.

an old story spun
on fresh strings.

the syllables of her name,
suddenly a song.

the blue
of his eyes.

the true
of his love.

..

Prompted by Kelly over at dVerse. Come play!

  1. Ah, yes — love. You captured it so beautifully.
    “stars spilled, a crushed-glass ceiling
    overhead.”
    Truly wonderful.

  6. the syllables of her name,

    could love be expressed better… also how suddenly the worst of better becomes a bliss… like singing in the rain.

    So many firsts. illustrating how true love is built with verve & experiences–casting aside those furtive sexual tiny adventures, peeling back mere lust & overactive hormones, to discover sacrifice, accommodation & reciprocation.

  8. the blue of his eyes.
    the true of his love.

    Some pull factors just can’t be avoided. It makes things nice

    Not sure if I could choose my favourite line..um..ALL of them?!! But I do love “an old story spun on fresh strings”……makes me sigh.
