~
Wet droplets in gray skies
seep color from my world,
trickle down the window
and dress my house
in sheets of coldness
Tonight snow flakes
whirl, they twirl
like a girl in dance
their whiteness descends
into mushy layer
So let’s stay in, my love
and wrap ourselves
in blanket warmth
while our eyes reflect
golden candle light
Leave gloves and scarf
and come, cuddle close
where heart meets heart
near the fireplace
‘cause winter is coming
