Treading adrift in the stirring of snow
Out of my kingdom, and out of its clutch
Snowscreen so heavy, and keeping me low
Snowscreen so heavy, and warm to the touch

Treading, a face in the ocean of sheep
Walking against their progressive advance
Biting my fingers to blood, as they sleep
Biting my fingers, these victims of chance

Treading away on my hands and my knees
Lifting my eyes as the snowscreen allays
Smelling perfume as it floats on the breeze
Smelling perfume, as it dances and plays

Crawling, without any pride or remorse
Seeking the one that I smell and I feel
Clutching the lover, deterring my course
Clutching her close to my body of steel

Stroking her skin, so romantic and bleak
Into her face, my despondency drips
Tasting compassion, so warm on my cheek
Tasting compassion, so cool on my lips

Treading adrift in the stirring of snow
Out of my kingdom, and into her clutch
Hold me so tightly, I'll never let go
Hold me so tightly, I love you so much

Well done Allan! I enjoyed this greatly. I really did. One of my favs. The ending left me with some sort of feeling....Erm..... ....hehe anyway I liked it.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
