Snowfall in the Night for Fabrizio Frosini

 The snow had just begun to fall,
thick snowflakes falling
past the restaurant window,
when you whispered, leaning forward,
oblivious to the crowd
around us, when you whispered those words,
and the feathery snow kept falling and falling,
when you whispered to me alone,
you whispered in a dream-voice,
‘I want you tonight, ‘ and the snow
was shining as it fell, and I nodded
as in a dream. Then I grabbed your hand,
saying, ‘Tonight I want you, ‘ as the snow
softly covered the earth, and the dark air
was shining with promises….
