Hibernation

Winter's whimsical nature comes with
.....fickle freeze pervading every fibre.
I remember you, red hot
.....against white snow—
smoking volcano
.....against barbarous desolation.
Your aura lingers in my brain,
.....fleeting perfume, ozone breeze,
nighttime sweet sweaty scent—
.....leathery lines grafted in my skin.
The fragile steps we took, vulnerable
.....tension in closeness,
sweet brokenness, tender hurt...
.....Ice worlds cannot find
snowflakes, soft goose down duvet
.....simulation.
Souls mirror remnants,.....
     sleep in quiet reminiscence.

Winter's whimsical nature comes with
.....fickle cold pervading every fibre.
I remember you, red hot
.....against white snow—
smoking volcano
.....against barbarous desolation.
Your aura lingers in my brain,
.....fleeting perfume, ozone breeze,
nighttime sweaty scent—
.....leathery lines grafted in my skin.
The fragile steps we took, vulnerable
.....tension in closeness,
sweet brokenness, tender hurt...
     dormant controversies
quenched indefinitely
     Ice worlds cannot find
snowflakes, soft goose down duvet     imitation.
Souls mirror remnants,.....in restless reminiscence
