(a Winter) Embrace

Misted eyes of heavy breath,
Savoured stalactites of tongue,
Necks held in last caress,
By hands rather held than gloved.

Ashen shivers of laden branches,
Buds lost and stems entwined,
Thighs warmed in grasps of ecstasy,
Filled of blood in heat's recline.

Fingers laced with tainted ivory,
Shivers burnt in frosted flesh,
Lips against a hardened tip,
To sighs of desirous end.
