April Poetry Challenge 2021: Day Twenty

 

“This April Snow”

The morning starts, coffee maker a glow

Window reveals flurries passing by

A winter wind rattles my ribs, temperature low

No one will notice the ice in the corner of my eye

I smile, as I fall apart like this April snow

Gently moving down from the steel grey sky

A winter wind rattles my ribs, temperature low

No one will notice the ice in the corner of my eye

I try to capture a moment from a photo

I only hear the memory of your goodbye

I smile, as I fall apart like this April snow

Gently moving down from the steel grey sky

I try to capture a moment from a photo

I only hear the memory of your goodbye

The days are now unplanted rows

Loneliness knocks at the door, ready to testify

I smile, as I fall apart like this April snow

Gently moving down from the steel grey sky

The days are now unplanted rows

Loneliness knocks at the door, ready to testify

My breath says another love I may never know

Or feel the freedom of days in July

I smile, as I fall apart like this April snow

Gently moving down from the steel grey sky
