Love In Winter
Love in Winter
A winterbed with ice cold feet is hot.
These snowy buds outshine the season’s gray.
Her shiver lasts - in travels she’s been caught.
The blanket’s frost - a wave on chilly days.
Her eyelashes, and icicles, so thick.
She’s tossed to and fro in the ice queen’s squall.
A glacial melt — he’s down — the sea moves...quick —
With thunderclaps his chest does rise and fall.
Relaxed, refreshed — like peppermint, this glove
that fits. Like soft new fallen snow - they glow.
Entangled legs in the leggings of love.
A wonderland of lips, their drift is slow.
This sleigh, a winterbed of midnight dates.
The iditarod sun of figure-eights.
