Winter's Love

You, my powerful Goddess

Drunk with winter’s love

I ache to smell the beauty

Of your bare skin

As I watch soaring from above

Eternity shines like the dream

Whispered by the light of our moon

And leaves me needing your stare

For the sweet deliriousness

It’s able to produce

If ever my shadow stills

Like a deathly water beneath a boiling wind

Please swim through my thousand black springs

To show me all that I am

This delicate boy who worships only

These true moments of love under stormy skies

And drive away the bloodied and bitter lies

So together we can recall our time and why
