My love is winter –
oh, the paleness of his skin,
and his eyes like January.
My love is winter.
He has built a home for me,
of storms and hail,
the winter things.
My love is winter –
he has carved
roses from snow,
lilies from ice –
a garden made
of hints and glints
of light.
My love is winter.
He has set me dreaming,
his hands so cold they burn,
my heart a lantern
trapped under ice.
A bit of wintry romance and whimsy for Lill at dVerse. She’s given us some song titles to choose from and incorporate into our poems. Can you spot them?
My Love Is Winter (The Smashing Pumpkins Oceania)
Roses from Snow (Emmylou Harris)
Trapped Under Ice (Metallica)
Winter Things (Ariana Grande)
I could have called this ” A Winter’s Tale”, I guess.
