Winter Blues

Winter Blues If you have to lose a love then not in winter when words are cold and eyes are closed to light while watching falling snowflakes you remember a pain that spurred the wounded heart to write. If you have to lose a love then not at Christmas when happiness is just about to burst. It’s not a time for callous acts and anger that bring you blues instead of leaving gifts and make you want to never see a Christmas tree again. If you have to lose a love then not in blizzards when everyone is cuddling with a friend and with each inch of snow in isolation you contemplate your life and thoughts forlorn wandering the depths of desperation all day long If you have to lose a love then not in winter when Valentines are favored for the blessed. Fire and ice together all in red as advertisements leave you with unmarried winter dread. There seems to be no shelter for the loveless. In a frigid cold they shiver for the warmth of a caress. 1/10/18
