capricorn

I love the winter

-- oh how I love the cold.

The numbing temperature is morphine to my soul.

Rushing through my veins, turning my blood to ice

A natural drug; my only sense of sanity, my demonic vice

And it frees me.

 

I love the winter,

and all its melodramatic glamour.

There's a sheen of romantic sadness when church bells clammor

I love the winter;

-- it's when I came out of the Cave.

Saw the Truth for what it was,

and wrote it down page by page.

 

Leave me with the snow;

I want to hear the church bells

              ring.
