Listen to poem:

Winter's Wish

I reached a hand 
Into the snow
The chilly ice
Once vibrant glow 

It's Winter's wish
A painful spree
The absent warmth 
Of no degree

Although I try
To stay alive 
Your touch confirms 
No love could thrive

Until the crystals 
Of your heart
Can beat a path
Back to the start

I'll leave a message
By transient hand 
No passer by
Shall understand

A heart-shaped sign
To melt away
Perhaps to write
Another day..
