frost

Thursday, December 19

The snow outside smells of
distance and chill,
while the snow blooming
in the bath smells of roses
and something deeper.

You still hang on my skin,
brushing off into the water.
sinking into the depths and 
sneaking to the surface to
kiss my forearm.

    1. I have so many. Fitzgerald for sure. His words are like candy. John Green, Markus Zusak. Poetry wise I love Neruda and Nin :)

      My work has been compared to Nin before and it made my world!
