Winter Pleasures

The trees are bare, now comes cold air
The breezes howl this night
I’m toasty warm, secured by charm 
As we hold each other tight

This winter evening…
As the sun descends…
The moon is smiling…
No love pretends…
It’s all for real, dear…
As we stay inside…
The winter frowns…
While in here, we hide…

Our winter pleasures…
Are year round dreams…
When come the fires…
With snow filled scenes…
We’ll feel the softness…
As our hands embrace…
Reflecting fires, bright…
With red cheeked face…

Winter winds chasing, while love’s erasing
The many sounds we hear
We’re holding so tight, by the fire this night
As our bodies stay so near

Old mister winter…
Turn away from our door…
For we won’t answer…
We won’t give you more…
The room is ignited…
By this fire inside…
On this winter evening…
In here, we’ll hide…

Michael it is so good to see your comments on my write. I was starting to think you didn't love me anymore(LOL). I read all your work this morning when you posted them and this piece in addition to the Angel poem are so well done. I will comment on that one too, but this is so clear, and cold. It gets into my bone. Well done my friend.

One of my favorite things in the world is curling up beside my husband in front of a fire on a cold winter's night. The only thing we don't have is snow since we're in Florida. I love the warm fuzzy feelings this poem invokes, and I especially like the last stanza.
