A COLD WINTERs STEAMY

The staticky-stars climax under intense blanket of Winter glow.
Your spouse can’t see your spirited green eyes that burn slow.

The friction of campfire sticks, the satiny slipperiness of moon.
Flames of blue, orange and red won’t be overcome too soon.

Pert rose petals, that once were goosebumpy and ice cold,
scintillate like fireworks until the grand finale’s loosed, uncontrolled.

Warm breath in a cold Winter’s steamy and a restless beast.
Lips lavish over late night feast, matches singe, sate increased.

Squirming under the leisurely complement of coals, coalescing,
Coolness of a blue lake vaingloriously countering, distressing.

A long midnight’s thrashing, sans pillory; the high beams foray.
Pillow talk, a sensuous squeeze, a high-diving elixir bouquet.

Ah those stars brilliantly glowing on a long Winter’s night!
Those limbs blush, rose petals crush, with unfettered light.

I can feel the joy of crawling under a cool comforter on a winter night. You capture that delight well in a cold, steamy night. Loved it.

kim, this was a real treat to read, and it had everything - unusual word combos, internal and end rhyme, wordplay (i love "coals, coalescing"); the opening and closing lines are very strong, and i like that you've written the poem in couplets, which is very fitting for the intimate, sensual subject matter - congrats on your win in my contest!

After a day of boating, skiing or fishing, on the lake, there is a steamy night ahead. The imagery & "Warm breath in a cold Winter’s steamy and a restless beast. Lips lavish over late night feast, matches singe, sate increased." an aphrodisiac for a steamy night at the lake. Congratulations on your POTD Kim Rodrigues! Colorful couplets. Enjoy your day!
