Winter Love

Bones creak with winter’s chill,
sledge trails cover the sparkling snow,
rushing like the wind in a barren landscape
towards a bleak lonely village far below
shimmering amongst the dark stately pines.
A teak grey sky domes over petrified trees.
Skiing hard, feeling an exhilarating allure,
hypnotic and unfettered despite the gelidity
as the cold breeze blows and moans into my face.
 
From afar a church bell tolls the end of day,
grey smoke twirls out of black chimneys.
There, in a homely cottage, you await,
a thick soup spreads its hot fragrances,
and thick slices of hot French bread
awaits my empty stomach.  I hunger.
Oh yes, I hunger for tasty soup and more.
I speed up for nothing can stop me now
savouring the thought of you waiting in a snug bed
and dreaming of you and a pair of lips so cherry red.

you always create such beautiful scenes that jump off the page and bring the reader into them... a little bit of sadness, a little bit of romance woven together perfectly into this wonderful poem... hugs

Great descriptive poem, Victor. I'm not looking forward to winter. I like soup during that time but prefer chili more :)

Enjoyed the journey through bone chilling winter scene, Victor. As always you hold the readers' attention with intriguing details--I see him rushing for soup and much more.
