in heart of winter
your touch warms my waiting flesh
promises of spring waters

Love this.. I long for spring to come and melt me too... mostly the light though
ReplyDeleteBjorn, my exact sentiment. I had a dream about a bear a couple of nights ago. It seemed rather strange.
DeleteSuch delicious warmth... I love all the seasons, but I can't lie... I'm always yearning for the kiss of spring.
ReplyDeleteMagaly - I agree there is something special about springtime when everything comes back to life after a long winter's nap.
DeleteIt is sloooooowly starting to bud, and is so welcome.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteNo buds here yet, just my wishful thinking :)
Sweetly anticipatory.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary,
DeleteIt would be sweeter if the cold wind would settle down.
A touch to warm on even the coldest day. Be nice if it brought spring sooner too haha
ReplyDeletePat, it is brutally cold here..I think it was 20 below last night and tonight the same.
DeleteAh, I can hardly wait for the emergence. I fear it will be a while yet here! Very beautifully penned.
ReplyDeleteMary,
DeleteThe same here as the temps are frigid. I woke up wishing for a spring day.
Love that image...
ReplyDeleteGlad that you did..thanks for visiting..
DeleteLove the thought of spring described in your words.
ReplyDeleteNow, if spring could just spring forth I'd be much happier...
DeleteWe have just celebrated "Basant Panchami"-- The festival of spring, in India, hope spring comes your place too, very soon!!
ReplyDeleteSpring doesn't arrive on the calendar until March and I am hoping that ground hog was right and it will arrive early.
DeleteI love this, and yes, we're also eagerly awaiting spring! It's been an unusually cold and snowy winter, plus, you know, everything's dead. A little color would be nice.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, it has been brutally cold. In fact I hope my car starts up this morning so I can get to work. A little color would be nice even the sky has been gray. I guess it fits the mood. Let's paint our own sky!
DeleteI love "soft petals of bliss.."...hope this dream comes true soon...
ReplyDeleteDreams are meant for living so hope spring arrives to add some color to the dreary landscape.
DeleteI first read it as 'worms eating my flesh' and was like whaaaat? :)
ReplyDeletehaha - That would be a big whaaat? How are you Dezzie?
DeleteSuch a lovely write :D
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteThat picture is beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteNice lines.
thank you it really seemed to compliment the mood.
DeleteI feel the need for spring.
ReplyDeleteme too Gail
DeleteSpring is never so cherished than in the heart of winter.
ReplyDeleteI agree in the heart of winter, the rains of spring await...
DeleteCold here at mn too, but remember, how you feel inside....warm up yourself with good memory of spring, visit the conservatory of flowers and trees...much love to you, Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteI would really enjoy visiting a conservatory unfortunately there are none nearby.
DeleteLovely, T. Spring, as a season, really encapsulates that "new hope" feeling.
ReplyDeleteSpring is all about new hope I think..
DeleteI can't wait for spring here too as its been very very cold ~ Love the haiku ~
ReplyDeleteGrace
Thank Grace! Hopefully, spring will come soon..
DeleteI love how you equate the gentle touch of your lover to spring as his touch awakens all of these things in you. very nice this poem!

ReplyDeleteOh how I miss spring....

DeleteHey Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteYou can relax, for I am here and that's clear.
Tis wondrous words doth thee write. Thine darling buds of May will soon be in sight.
Gary
