Winter approaches
On nippy nights
And feathers my windows
with icy delight.
Fluffy snow
Embroiders the pines
And caresses the fields
Like mulberry wine...
hope, fire, window, hearth

fluffy, pine, field, wine
She'd pine and she'd pine
'Til dawn found its way
Her mind so excited
As she gets a new day
To the mirror she'd go
To see the night's ruins
Hoping to find less
Of its ugly doin's
Fluffy and ratted
Her hair, what a mess
But that takes little
To make it its best
Her face is the worst
A field of new lines
She hadn't seen yet
But sees sure this time
Wrinkle to wrinkle
She traces each line
Thoughts take her soon
To her first glass of wine
"I just look so old"
She thinks once ag'in
Not knowing her worry
Is what's doing her in
chase, gold, fever, find

Eagle Heart, your poem was like a beautiful painting.
hope, fire, window, hearth
I was a fair young girl, around twenty five,
Full of hopes and fantasies; fresh and alive.
I was running in the cold night, to catch a bus.
Too busy to stop, always in a rush.
Through a window, shadows of a blazing fire
made me stop; - what I saw, filled my heart with desire.
There sat an old couple arm in arm by the hearth,
Eating chocolates, and cuddling, they were full of mirth
That’s what I want, that’s what I lack,
Need no villa or pink Cadillac.
Want a man to hold me and love me forever,
That’s gold, compared to any business endeavour.

once again, I was trying some words, while someone else (this time EH) was doing the same. EH, your poem is so much better and better fitting for the words involved.
I love your poem, too EW... talking about a verbal painting! So, what new words will you be picking for us?

Time has a way
Of moving us on
Beyond old perceptions
Beyond days long gone.
Perpetually changing
Horizons and dreams
Surprise and unravel
The way we perceive.
But as life unfolds us
Through new twists and bends
We’re carried and strengthened
By tried-and-true friends.
You’ve watched and you’ve prayed
You’ve laughed and you’ve cried
Rejoiced at my blooming
And never asked why.
My journey has taken
Me many dark miles
How could I survive
Without your sweet smile.
