Winter Warmth

i peer out the window now painted in delicate lace and icicle valances from winter’s cold breath and retreat to your arms for some warmth the hands of time beat lesser than my heart beneath your touch i arch my back and move like a shadow cast on walls, i dance beneath the flicker of candle’s bright flames there’s much fire within desire the wind mimics lover’s moans as winter’s blanket covers the ground and floor alike then all falls quiet as we drift, deep asleep sandy adams fire and ice contest
