Original Poetry Fan Fiction ❯ My poetry ❯ Lingering Snow ( Chapter 2 )

Lingering Snow:

`Twas winter passed,
Whence I visited last,
The grave, lying amongst the shrouds,
Whereupon the last snow still clouds.

I walked past the others,
Whence the snow still slithers,
Her fragrance still lingers,
Coalescing with the stony markers.

I lay down the cherry blossom,
Hugging the marker to my bosom,
Tears streak the pallid cover,
Whence we last laid her.

Memories- oh so fickle!
Yet how they pinch and pickle!
Can I not grasp?
Whence we last clasp.

Dawn breaks through,
And I remember you,
Your face fearless,
Dauntless-an angel, never in distress,

I smile, remembering once more,
That though our footsteps have gone sour,
Covered up by the lingering snow,
I know-
Her fragrance will always follow,
Lingering within my bosom,
Coalescing with the fallen cherry blossom.
