painted cheekbones

with frozen skin
you send arrows flying
through eyelids of glass
shattering visions
of peace and contentment
love and war
with lust separating the path
now roads are left unclear
but as night drags on
you might as well be slaughtered in slumber
for what days brings is much worse.
keep your enemies under warm wraps
when winter arrives
survival is easy.
