Deep Winter

Slowly winter creeps along into our veins
The cold curse of England
Testing your fragile bones
Teasing your icy cold ears

Freezing your nose
Jack Frost is coming closer
The Holly King still in its Glory
The sun all but gone 

Just a dismal rise
A fast Set
Daylight Hours Stolen
Turning back Time

An hour here 
Forward there
Tingling Skin
Hard Jawline

Fur and Fleece 
Come out to play
Snow ahead
Snow men 
Into Bed
Quick Jack Frost is Here
