Under the Frosted Mistletoe: A Winter Valentine's

Valentines kiss all decked out in coats
Lips that dance at each other's throats
Flurries that decorate chestnut hair
The heat of passion warming the air

Beneath the length of the polar night
Is where these two hearts soar to flight
The weight of the world to disappear
When souls like these draw anear

Wrap them up in blankets of snow
Angels that form in the hollow below
Diamond dust that glistens the sky
Love like this will never run dry

Beneath mistletoe they meet their eyes
Evergreen spirits, with joy they rise
Nothing can break the invisible string
Of tender compassion, and songs they sing

At end of night they retreat to inside
With handknit sweaters on couch they reside
Orange fireplace glow on faces they show
Cuddled together, to sleep they go

This dream that I have I know will be mine
On a future winter Valentine's
