Your eyes were frosted starlight, Your heart, fire, and snow. Who was it said 'I love you? ' Please continue this a bit longer, won't you dear poet? 10+ for it.
A marvelous story could be contrived taking on this conversation. My thoughts run to a rebellious daughter in love with conflicting emotions in her head thinking to take bold steps but caught on by her mother.
To comment that this is simple totally misses the whole flow of the dialogue and shifting imagery as it evolves from beginning to end. The shifts have an elegance and subtly that wonderfully illuminate the caring relationship and gentle maternal insight into her child's behavior and responses. But at least you didn't just say it was interesting.
Very nice poem. Enjoyed the conversation. Thanks for posting.
