Curled In Winter's Arms

i feel this wind
encircling me
as darkness arises

my only wish
...to feel your lips
brushing against mine

...your breath
softly falling
as your fingers
trace against flesh

instead of winter's touch 
that has me wrapped
in the curl of its chill

I hate the cold. I get this on so many levels. Well written. Powerful. Yet, so sad... Ann

Thank you Caren. I was trying to work on a form for a contest. Wasted hours and came up empty. This was all my muse would give me :) hugs

LOve this poem, Sandra, so visual when the imagination takes over. I wonder if winter's arms are physical?...
