Windowlight

Windowlight gleaming brightwhere’s my love…here tonightstayed awake till the dawnwhy not…she is gonewho needs the shining moonall I have’s this little tunewalking home the way I gosaw an orange peel in the snowit reminded me of her warmththat used to keep me safe from harmwindowlight to replacethe loveliness of her face.

  1. May I know why Orange Peel???? Well, I like your poem. Selection of words is appreciable.

    • Hello, Arvind. Thanks for your comment. To me, the orange peel represents all the warmth, sunniness, and sensuousness of love.

  2. Hello Arvind,

    Thanks for your comment. Sorry to respond so late–I just saw it today.

    I did see a discarded orange peel in the snow, walking in New York. To me, the orange peel represents all warmth, sunniness, and sensuousness of love.

    Best wishes,
