Kim V. Poetry

We are engaged in a torrid love affair,
The Winter & I.

Earthly delights
And otherworldly kisses.

Cold touches on warm skin,
Like a tilted paradise.

When Winter leaves,
I lie here in our bed,
Remembering moments
That have too long passed.

Spinning spin, in my mind,
Of Stygian threads
To keep them there.

I dream of Winter.

Lullabies of silk
And lavish wonders.

Fantasies, like the sharpest teeth,
Piercing more than just skin.

It is a delicious agony,
That I would endure
Just to feel it’s closeness
One more time.

Winter desires me
And hates me.
But loves me over and over
And over, again.

And I will find my place
Back in Winter’s icy embrace.

Fanning the flames of this love,
When the stars align
Against a backdrop of night.

I will find myself in its glacial grasp,
And give up my dreams and soul…
Willingly.
