Cold January Bliss

a few meeting here and there
a few kind words shown with care
each passing night of the summer
finally to find what i discovered

a few day dreams and fantasies
a few poetic themes and wishes to be
that simply vanished i could not see
but kindness always kept me hoping

the few times i tested my bravery
searching for that certian slavery
to give my heart and will
hoplessness could not kill

januarys cold winter night
found her sitting on summers site
joyful in that special mood
that extra nice that was extra smooth

she was surprized when i serenaded her
you should have seen her
wrap arms around my shoulders
i felt myself getting bolder and bolder

she kissed my cheek she kissed my neck
and took a moment to put on lip stick
we spoke of love and it's terrible ways
and how we made it through those uneasy days

who knows when we fell in love
maybe before then and it was a summer love
we held hands and made our confessions
though few the cold hours a wonderful lesson

we said "i love you's" that i knew were real
nothing except myself to make her feel
i finally found what i thought was forever lost
away to love someone and equally share the cost

we parted with "i love you " and the kiss of bliss
and with wondering and surprize that nite i missed
reaching to hold her from one block away
all day my thought of her stays and stays

walking home the next day yet colder still
passing by her house my wished it willed
she came out wishing me well
she had to be waiting of this i can tell

she hugged me and i asked for a kiss
forever on the lips and i will never miss
just for this moment who could ask for more than this
twentyfour hours of cold january bliss

Reads as if she was enough to keep you warm on a winter's night. Good descriptiveness and rhyming.

You are a true romantic, John! Sounds like February's bliss is on its way! "The cost' a price that might be well worth the investment. Stay happy! Mikki
