I still believe in the magic of true love.
Ice crystals formed
White lace spiders
Spelling out her name
The house was dark
The windows dirty
Residents long gone
She came to the house
Decades ago a child
Abandoned
At the age of three
Just another mouth to feed
She came here
Met the man of her dreams
He was handsome
A boy of four with salty blonde hair
And eyes a grassy meadow green
The orphanage kept them well
They hid from adults
Looking to rescue them
They were in love
No other place would feel like home
They grew up and married
Had beautiful kids of their own
He was her soul mate
The man for which her heart was made
Since his death she visits
On Valentine’s day each year
The window of this old house
When cold and frosty
She could still see his love
Written so long ago
On a foggy plane of glass
Her name next to his
Signed with the shape of a heart

One of the things I do is travel overseas and help facilitate adoptions for people in Russia, Haiti, the Philippines etc. that’s what this reminded me of. Very nice.

What jumped out at me was the clarity of the story you have woven through your verse.
As she stared at the frosted and dirty glass, what she ” saw” was what she chose to see I guess.
Loved it!

Wonderful and apt use of the personification of the relationship as not just a house, but a window on the world that they shared. Utterly haunting and so perfect in every detail. Great poetry.
