Poem: No Longer Enticing

Dirt-stained shoes slowly sink walking over the surrounding stale snow.
The screech of an ice-scraper is diminished by the swirling cold.
A boy drives across town in a blue, hatch-backed car to buy a rose.
Upon returning home, no woman waited within to receive its precarious scent.
He can taste happiness, but it remains a ghost memory enticing him no more.
