Winter Love

Dimly lit, in the milky sky,
Washed out in icy blue,
The winter sun is hiding shy,
Hugging the horizon.

Here, in the crisp, biting snow,
And frost without thaw,
I let bittersweet emotions go,
To burry them in ice.

A cave for love gone wrong,
Blended into white.
Forever more shall it belong,
Deep inside the snow.

I love the winter wonderland,
This perfect palace,
A kind of cold I understand,
Within my frozen heart.

I embrace winter's fierce serenity,
Her strong and stoic face,
There is nowhere I would rather be,
Than safe inside her arms.

**For Constance' Scavenger hunt**
