take two — inspired by the “adoration” prompt for Chalkboard

Heart detail on door — source

His hoarfrost voice
feathered the keyhole,
piercing her heart
releases a torrent
of glass tulips,
smothered professions of
adoration consume the
melting encore of
shattered lips, sealed
in perennial commitment.

-Winter, before Spring’s arrival
