All Deviations




Drawing hearts on windows in the long winter days,
writing love letters in the clouds with our fingertips.
Promises are like fingerprints, plans are like dust
he held onto her till she wept rainbows.
Footprints in the snow whispers, "I believe in you."

Cold hands, warm embraces and tired eyes,
handfuls of snow from snow covered cars.
Flying geese across frosted windows,
she held onto him till the stars fell away.
Falling snow cries, "I believe in you."

Frozen lakes and frosty roads,
i've been learning to try my whole life.
Caged birds sing about silhouettes of lovers
and dream of being swans.
I'd drag my heart across thin ice and sail ships
(to be by your side).
Holding onto each other
I will follow you into the dark as the stars fall away.

A heart like abandoned Christmas trees,
your love watches patiently the gardens changes.
All the trees are left broken and weeping.
Holding onto each other
following dreams as rainbows fall on shadows.

He held onto her memory till she wept rainbows,
she held onto his future till the stars fell away.

Early Winter Snow (Swans) by Jerry Hageman
found here: [link]

This is my winter/christmas poem
about feeling undervalued and unappreaciated at xmas
and about true love and sacrifice.
My last two photomanipulations; "Winter Beauty" [link]
and "Dreams That You Dare To Dream" [link]
were based upon this poem whilst
it was a work in progress.
A copule of lines: "He held onto her till she wept rainbows...
...she held onto him till the stars fell away." can be found in my "Dreams That You Dare To Dream" photomanipulation.
It's my first full poem for some time
and I worked very hard on it.

edited: the first couple of verses.

After endless nightmares she lies weeping in her bed
A blade in her hand, her nightdress is turning red
Her skin becomes paler in this cold and stormy night
This is the end of all her painful dreams of suicide
