traipsing through the treeline...
gliding
with such grace....
or
was that me?
the hearth beckons,
cackling songs of last winter:
lovers' vows of the succour to come...
but i yearn
yet
to touch your ghostly presence
feeling
along my skin in the darkness.
are you ready?

over quivering lips,
hunger carves
silhouettes of desire:

wound tight,
within the rounded corners of night,
a cacophony of silences cascades
over me,
inevitably interrupted
by the
tumble
of rain,
and possibility-
ingredients for
a beautiful new day.

last eternal,
in my heart and,
in the cold fire of your soul,
who knows to what heights this love may grow.

a longing,
for what is so near.
a reminder,
of ambition bred in fear.

so simple, pure, and true.
a love,
joyfully shared with you.

hurtling gently once more
into the depths of our love.
