Winter Kills
In rushes winter
At a furious pace
Upon arrival
Time slows
Descending from grace
Shrouding blue skies
In blankets of grey
Dark extends
Cold creeps
Shall not go away
Icy fingers burrow
Excavates my being
Hollow spirit
Light hides
No longer seeing
Emotionless shivers
Inhaled with each breath
As if frozen
Air stills
Yet smelling of death
At a furious pace
Upon arrival
Time slows
Descending from grace
Shrouding blue skies
In blankets of grey
Dark extends
Cold creeps
Shall not go away
Icy fingers burrow
Excavates my being
Hollow spirit
Light hides
No longer seeing
Emotionless shivers
Inhaled with each breath
As if frozen
Air stills
Yet smelling of death

I want snow so bad now...lol
i love the depiction of winter that comes rushing through
with creeping cold
blankets of grey i could snuggle up in
shivers and the smell of death.
the death part makes me think of the movie "Alive" about the soccer team becoming cannibals.

I love this poem! I like how you mention winter as a force but also touch on how still and dead it is, very cool way to describe it.

Yes winter sometimes rushes in, or comes slowly but surely as death can come from strangulation. Easier poem to understand having just had a weekend bout of heavy snow and ice here in England.

Makes us think of a cabin in the mountains, freezing until the fire starts roaring. Tight piece
