The Weight of Winter

I could run from you, you know Try to stop me with a single blow A mighty gust is your admonition Husky whispers of opposition My blood slows under your icy eyes A frigid man whom I despise You’ll strip the colour from my skin Trick my nerves to burn within Your face is calm for all is planned As you blot out life with the weight of your snow white hand.

Loved this darker view of winter. Makes me think of 'Old Man Winter' a white hairy ogre that only wants to ruin summer. :) Where I live, winter is a wimp, summer rules the area. Every once in a while I think I'd like to experience winter again, but then I will travel to it and remember why I'd rather be at the beach under a warm sun. This was really nice Krystal. Gave me a chill as I read it. :)
