Cold October

Sitting here in wintry weather,
but the fire of autumn not yet burnt out.
Like this flesh of ice, with you still burning inside.
Smoldering in the pit of my heart, allowing it breath...

Celestial breath of stardust and diaphanous clouds...

What little warmth left inside, radiates from you.

This cold is unbearable
when you are not here to melt these frozen hands.
Or kiss these cold lips.
Or touch these pink cheeks.

But I will bear it.
I will bear it, not because I can,
but because you are there waiting for me.
Because my thoughts are yours...
This heart is yours...
Even this frozen body is yours.
