Winter

a romantic fantasy

art ~ winter goddess by Charlene maguire

 

 

~~~

Gather cool winds around her

and shake her silken hair

weaving the beams of moonlight

and he shall feel her there

 

Falling in mists and shadows

haunting the darkest night

twirling with grace she whispers

melodies soft and light

 

Filling the sky above him

with pale white innocence

and he can feel her spirit

drifting with elegance

 

Drawing him in the blanket

that sweeps her ivory bed

wrapping his heart in splendor

into her dreams he’s led

 

“Dance my love, just snowflakes

in this white wonderland

Float with me on fantasies

come love, take my hand”

 

Dressing his eyes with beauty

 shimmers of diamond glow

crown her head with lilies

yet in the night below…

 

The roses chill and wither

at her touch, icy cold

If he could make just one wish

If he could be so bold

 

To gather cool winds around her

warm her beauty pale and fair

and drift with her to springtime 

and still....to feel her there
