Cold

Cold ~~~~ As the frigid winter zephyrs gently play Amidst the warm hues of red orange heralds Portends of the ending years eternal cycle My mind escapes its temporal bonds As I return to our happier times Her smile is as rays of golden sunlight And evokes thoughts of my brightest day All the stars in our Supremes creation Dim in comparison to the light she made me see Such a tempting voice and incredible eyes My madness and most fevered desire Are simply one and the same The hearth keeps me warm in body Yet still I remain chilled to the core As the twilight winds rise to a howl outside And a mocking voice inside my soul Whispers To my heart my lost lover's name
