Winter
I remember winter in
the old stove we huddled at,
an audience of shivering limbs
within cold walls.
There was a desperation to this closeness
that love could never inspire. It glowed
within us, a common flame
we dared not feed, and through
the night we curled in embers
and burned ourselves to sleep.
I could almost remember summer’s
cotton arms, the playfulness
of ocean waves in August. Those dreams
wished to drown us beneath memories
and wishes, but
in the moment before we awoke,
as the tide cried

while you're gone
I find you again each time you sleep
Your brow, once vexed, but soon composed

In your repose, I'm reminded

For the Live-Love-Write Dodecathlon: Contest Finale
Sorry it's so long again. Technically in my time zone I missed the deadline by forty minutes. I understand if that disqualifies me. Hoping we were going with PST. Either way, I hope this is enjoyed.
Edit 1/6/17: A hearty thanks to our kindhearted CV for the DD and to everyone who's come along both before and after the award! Your comments, faves, and support mean the world to me. I wasn't able to make a "thank you" note on here any earlier, because the overwhelming joy had my head a bit cloudy. Now that I'm certain that, yes, I am awake and this isn't one of my fictions, I want you all to know you are thanked from the bottom of my heart. Truly, I am honored.
P.S. This won't be the last of Gad's tale.
