Yes my love
Though I am away...
I am there.

For, you see my lady.
I shall remain at your side
through each day..
each night..

In spirit, running wild, free.
Running an endless race down
a slope of the heart...

I am there, I am in your eyes,
in your blood,  the breath you breathe,
in your dreams, in mine.

Come into the night air
as breezes blow the hair of fine,
the silk of flow.  As our moon rises.
As a wolf howls and echoes die.
As we walk in crunching still
of whitest flake.

Touch the branch of love’s tree.
Watch the finest mist of frozen tears
fall from the bows of bend.

Stand, shiver not as we embrace
and the fires of passion warm the
wine of sensual grapes upon
the vine of our lust.

As lips touch and taste.
As hearts entwine in beat
and sighs become moans
on the stillness of a finely crusted
snow covered blanket....

Till.....
Spring rains run us inside
to the dance of candle flames
and fiery coals....

When the SnowMaiden Smiles....

Oooh, dearest Magnus!! I love this very romantic read. Chris
