Pale Shine

the sun lies lower
in the northern skies

you can nestle
in my heart for a time
if you like

there is no absolute
that says you have to remain
here after fall

though it would be nice to spend
a winter with you

    Though it would be nice...I like that the
    desire is open, for the other to choose.

    I have been waiting for some time to read a poem that fitted the photo you have on your header. Today her beguiling look as she stood on that dirt road fitted your poem beautifully. Now you have made an old man happy.

    Melancholy and romantic haiku.
    I love this line: "You can nestle in my heart..."
    True love!
