Winter's Core

The cold dark depths of winter haunt me once again
It was a good year, a mild year, but it always comes
to freeze my mind and make me numb
All is white yet somehow dark
like some black frozen arrow hit it’s mark

The cold dark depths of winter chill me to the bone
The thick frosted air weighs down my lungs
as they breathe towards the sky in search for the sun 
My thoughts more heavy of what has been
go searching for their quiet end

The cold dark depths of winter confine me once again
Banished in the darkest nights
it’s creeping death I try to fight
Invades me to my deepest core
till light and warmth I feel no more

The cold dark depths of winter try me once again
A cold reminder that time goes by
and we let it all pass in front of our eyes
All the things that I adore
now frozen into Winter’s Core

Chris, this is a very, very finely written poem. The Winter which you describe sounds so dark, so cold, and so uninviting that it almost seems like it talks of the polar ice caps. Well done!

I really enjoyed this, your words and phrases have texture, if that makes sense. Very descriptive and easily felt. I felt a chill as I read it.
