no snowflakes

no snowflakes
but snow on the ground
no signs of life
but warmth in his heart
he waits
she's coming
he spots her
curious
she's more beautiful than expected
no snowflakes
but snow on the ground
artistic tangents on the ground
wintry thoughts, beautiful sonnets
all dedicated to her
she sees him
they freeze
cold and nervous and scared
no snowflakes
but snow on the ground
stepping toward her
each individual step bringing
pain and pleasure
intertwined, twisted together
falling apart
no snowflakes
but snow on the ground
pristine
like her eyes
white
like her coat
cold
like the darkest corners of his mind
bright
like the exquisite dreams of this moment
no snowflakes
but snow on the ground
they meet
they smile
they talk
they walk
into the possibilities
