Winter's Breath

Serenade me by a warm fire
place here a heated kiss
as the icicles drip
and the sky remains somber and grey

sing lyrics to my furrows soul
which dwells beneath
in numbing withdrawing cold

sing to me as:
the chill in the air is brisk
sips of sweet peppermint tea

I will not perish in winter's cold
or miss this year summer's bliss
the spring's blossoming flowers
petals so high and bright
butterflies singing
wishful hopes for the future

back to present
we cuddle before a cozy fire
as winter's breath knocks
