in a blanket

wrapping meaning about me
like a blanket
I shroud my innermost
behind a veil of words
these ones make a pretty face
those ones color your heart royal blue
a liquid regal color in the 
hue of a love I can only 
grasp at like a straw
in the winter wind
that bites into me
as if a piranha on my soul
consuming my essence to the bone
except as caught
and held in the most happy 
preservative of the heart
the words that open
themselves to a love with you
that I can only dream about
