Snow On Silk
The poem expresses an intense, tender love that feels both physically delicate and spiritually profound, with closeness to the beloved portrayed as life’s most precious experience. It also reflects a wake-up moment—an awareness that life is fleeting, distractions are empty, and true meaning is found in fully cherishing each intimate moment together.

Snow on Silk
Love skips through the day until my hand touches your cheek
It is soft like snow on silk
I never want to miss a day that I am close to you
Mediocrity always knocking at the door, an unwanted host
Please let me partake of the most precious gift you are
Let me not miss a minute in your arms
What’s precious gets lost in the dreams of ourselves
I am here to remember that life is fleeting and a moment with you is eternal
My life has turned a page and I am aghast at all that has been secret
You stepped in through the window and touched my cheek
I am forever in your depth,
For you have turned the page and I see your face, soft like snow on silk.
