~MORE~ or *LESS* ?

We bundled up when it was cold
layers upon layers of clothes
sweaters and boots and heavy coats
and vests and socks and mittens too.

No glimpse of flesh could ere be seen
we covered all our skin
to hide the chance of frosted bites
to keep our warmth within

Just barely a nose protruding out
with ski masks on our face
our thermals wrapped around our legs
with cotton wool and acrylic too

And now we peel in slow reverse
to share the golden sun
we shave away those bulky clothes
since the winter now is done

Revealing more of ourselves
as the fahrenheit degrees
begin to rise upon this earth
as we thaw from winter's freeze

The heavy coats give way to tops
that halter on our chest
the thickened slacks are shed like skin
as a snake lets loose from that

And how does man fare with this change
from chilly wet and cold
to the warm invigoration of
the lukewarm breeze that blows?

For nature has a special way
to make the birds and bees
reflect upon our budding ways
our future mates to please

Our senses turn to warmer days
where skin glistens with the light
our sweat becomes inviting balm
that leads to sensual night

The nectar smell that we exude
as our bodies are exposed
to tantalize the romance buds
as we shed our winter clothes.
