The Wind Has Teeth

The wind has teeth today nipping at my cheeks and ears The chill air is a blade, ripping away the lining of my jacket The wan sun's rays fall helplessly to the ground lacking any true conviction Gray clouds swirl aimlessly overhead mirroring the tenor of the day Yet first snow's flakes linger in the air somewhere in a snow-globe dimension Two lovers move their lips in prayer as five point stars melt on the kiss they share

I was in that wind last week; it has such a bite! Great job!

perhaps that kiss is all that was needed to escape the biting winds...as long as lips aren't being bitten...well not too hard anyone...a little nibble never hurt anyone... enjoyed this one my friend, the ending was the perfect amount of warmth :) hugs
