Winter knocks
without invite
enters,
It is I who
leaves
the open door,
it is I who
anticipates
his return,
it is I who
Loves
his presence
yet it is on
his terms.
Winter surveys
decides it’s time to settle
deciding where to settle

he spreads himself
across the land
with a gentle
whisper
a whisper
reveals the red red
leaves paled
faded
on his way to me
so
he gives me
a snow-capped smile
showing my worth
showing his love
his tenderness
a tender branch
caresses my love
my fragile love.
Winter speaks
fall is gone
his voice
calms my fears
silences my thoughts
warms my heart
as it rushes
through
my bones
it enters
my spirit
his love is
revealed
by the blue sky
beheld before me
inviting me to take a dive
swim in the ocean
the pool of his soul.
Winter leaves
the man melts
many days
spring forth
I feel his warmth
within
surrounding
sheltering me
giving me a home
a place
he built out of love
but
he is gone
many days
the walls melt away
I am revealed
exposed
the summer sun
bears burdens
I can’t carry alone
I begin to burn
the fever
controls my mind
my thoughts
my heart
I ache
I ache
I ache
I ache for
Winter
to return
to hold my hand
to wrap me in his
blanket
snow
white
pure
soft
flesh
touch me
whisper to me
tell me
his words
I long to hear his
words
I long for the embrace of
Winter
I long to tell
Winter
I am in love
I love you
my winter
and I always will.
Winter returns
my mind speaks
“heart rejoice”
but my voice
my voice fears
silence
my silence
his silence
invades my soul
controls
silence wins
desire loses
I will never speak
I will never know
Winter
I will never be loved
by Winter
I will never
behold Winter again
Winter.
ocean babin.
I like this Ocean.
Thank you.
