I decided to use two words,
fiery and cold..

~*~*~*~*~

The north wind blows it’s icy chill
as we linger near the fire.
Outside the air thick with frost.
Inside burns ..desire.

Sheltered from frigid air,
safe from winters blow.
Our hearts full of yearning,
as embers softly glow.

Your strong hands hold me close,
caressing my heated skin.
Passions burn fiery hot,
the coldness gone within.

Words of  eternal love
from our lips are spoken.
Promises of forevermore,
never to be broken.

Entwined in loves luminous dance,
hearts fervid with loves flame.
We once knew only icy chill,
now we’ll never be the same.

Suddenly,  reality,
when from my dream I wake.
Alone I rise from crispy sheets,
alone...
my bed I make.

6/3/00

chilling and intense at the same time.
well written
take care, jm

 There are places inside our souls ...
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts ...
that need to be loved this much.
