Safety First

safety first,
as i compose on the computer
and you craft our late night dinner
the air is electrifying to behold
from this solemn soul
i think in thanks
for our afternoon gift-wrapped in gold
and the winter that exhaled
harshly upon our faces
our afternoons blossom even in ice
and glow red upon our cheeks
long after they've gone
days like this, if only they could
be captured and held close
when the flowers fall to silence
but need not, for this life
is ever occurring between us
and growth, forever
gracing each day
