It was a cold and winter's day You left and took my heart I didn't want you then to stay Despite the teardrops start I thought that we'd be better off To each a new love find Did not expect the chill or cough As you dwell upon my mind Now I wonder where you are With every day that passes I see you in the shining star Your face in sighs and glasses Everyone that passes by Is scrutinised to see If you've returned to stay, and why You've not returned to me The days grow cold the night is too Without your loving arms How could I have been this fool To let go all your charms As winter comes, the thoughts do too In each of them I find The teardrops fall and sighs anew Remembering times more kind And now no matter how I run I cannot sense the warm My heart a jacket all undone Without your loving form I sigh and cry and wish you here I dream again of love My winter's day would be less drear If you were here to love I thought that we'd be better off How could I be so wrong Yet now my chill and bitter scoff Has taken all my song In the winter cold and chill I sought to cast you by Now all my thoughts upon you dwell As winter seals my eye Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Keth darling sister of my heart you gather the sighs of stars and set them in a garland of delight, this is incredibly good darling heart, even by your standards this is exquisite. You do know this has words that are entwined in a weave of unsurpassed beauty do I love it? You know I do. I’m left almost speechless ……… almost smile, you know I’m never silent for longer than a breathI just want to say this is superb writing, as always you bathe my soul in wonder when you write. Truly exquisite writing I wub you too  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   Breathe through the heat of our desire |
