Dear Dr. Fab,

Thank you for your patience and faith and for resending the invite to my yahoo id. Please find my submission for the winter poetry

Silver Streams

This cloudburst of white wine

That’s coming pouring down 

in thick swathes of silver streams

I am awash in sparkling gems of heaven

With thunder claps of hammering heart 

Tongues fork as hiss of lightnings 

Her fury at my abstinence, a blizzard

Strikes me as a whiplash of wet tresses

Before the rains, and the snow storms

She had unleashed on an unsuspecting me

Each  luxurious tier so langurously, untied

Quivering caution, abandoned so joyously

Its been a while, the quicksilver unison

that I wandered down this icicle aisle

I remember leaving your icy steps

My lament wading through mountains of snow

What with my heart kept in deep freeze

Quagmire of yearnings swamping my verve 

Of sylvette wishes humming a soft song

she rang the silver bell of awakening desire

And with an unexpected cloud burst 

Like the quintessential irridiscent peacock

She unleashed the brilliance of a rainbow

Sun resplendent, through grey clouds on a snowy day

Delighting in the steadily melting icy flakes

Who rendered fire to this burgeoning cloud 

A crackling amber meade over my turgid earth

Nature awakening in virginal embrace

Drenched in this much loved powdery wash

May this silver cascade, tumultuous never end
