Ice glazed window panes
Chimneys puff glad tidings high
Under foot snow speaks~
Crunchy chuckles of winter
Season of frost-bound kisses

Beyond the window
Merriment appears so bright
Tinsel hangs in sheen
And beneath the mistletoe?
Christmas finds its most merry...

Winter kisses can heat up the kissers
pretty fast, frost (ice) doesn't last long when touched by lips like this, or better, tongue..
An enjoyable read....

Season of frost-bound kisses
.

i will wear the frost of winter
in its sting upon my lips
to know the passion resurrects itself
upon the dreamboy's warming kiss.

How magical!

I would love to live this scenery! You make memories surface from long ago ... I love the snow speaking under the feet!

Sigh ...
