Sweet winter night envelope me...
numb my heart to rest.....
share with me your deepest dark,
pour black upon my chest...
Penetrate with bite and frost
and quick my lungs suppress....
leave me helpless, heaving, panting...
steal away my breath...
Replace my blood with water iced
and when tears, inevitably flow...
Icicles I'll weep and cry..
then shower me in snow...
seal lids and lips, and butterflies
turn snowflakes
as I drift.....
kiss my face with blue and gray and hints of fog and mist...
dizzy me in swirls of flurries
and as my soul does stray,
leave me with his memory
till I forever fade away!
