Actually, though it seems like just a lot of poems together, it's not meant to be that way. =) One poem; different 'chapters'.

Winter Wolf

I: Fell

Winter's breath, cold against mine
flying over empty fields, barren of life
screeching loss, whispering sorrow
Standing high, lowly sunk,
feelings felt
sighs sighed
tears shed
She waited, watched, hoped, fell, waited
Cycle after cycle, repeated and felt again
live, die
empty, full
light, dark
Twisting, whirling, she fell endlessly
Fell for laughter
Fell for being One
Fell for love
Fell for him

II: Touches

Coldness spread, drained, and ached
O the pain to be felt!
Winter's kiss touched her lips
O the sweetness
Winter's touch on her heart
O the tenderness
Winter's embrace holding her still
O the ease
Breeze's caress soothing her skin
Star's song hum lull peace
She sleeps
Wispy fingers linger
familiar fire lights
Entwined, twisting, and loving
Winter's touch his own
She hoped, wished, and woke
image implanted
wishes disappearing
alone

III: Otherworld

If I had one wish this starry night
a world of for us
a love would be born
a smile would be shown
a kiss would be mine
a heart would be given
Words pass, wishes breathed, we forget
you smile, I soar
you laugh, I dream
you say my name, I love
you watch another, I break
I wish for a world of our own
so I could love you
so we could be together
so you could love me

IV: You

If I had one dream to be dreamt
this starry night grants
If I had a wish given
to be blessed by you to me
If I had one jewel
like a star glittering
If I had a single breath
warm, loving, soft: a flower's kiss
If I had you
love would be one word
Always
If I had everything in the world
I would only want you

V: Spring

Winter's touch fleeting bite
Winter's kiss painful void
Winter's embrace suffocating
I know

Like tamed wolf, turning
sudden affliction given
Like mighty sword
double edged woe into the heart
Like breathing one breath
long lasting, mournful, empty
Like wishing for treasure
only to be in poverty
Like dreaming of you
waking alone

Yet there is warmth

The sun rises and I watch
coldness is replaced
Flowers bloom under such gentle caress
a seed is planted
Babies sleep peacefully
innocence I know
Waking with the thought of you bliss
knowing that I have love
Birds sing, bells ring
laughter escapes
Merry-making a-flurry
my heart dances with them

For Winter's wolf, wild, fierce
like a dagger
Cannot last
when the sun shines
And I live again
for I know this secret:
As Winter's wolf roams
it fears but warmth
as Nature reaches out with kindness
as Time moves on needless
as Hope urges
as the whole world wakens
Comes Spring

This is really nice......you have a way with words and images.
