Icy winds sailing through
Seeping into
my very bones,
Cut open,
my soul
Howling now they pass
From me towards you.
....
Afloat you lay,
Drenching in the frosty rain
Tearing like the red sea,
Feeling the raw pain
Spurting water
Gasping for air,
Bleak eyes gazing with solace.
...
Shivering
Teeth clenched
I wake up from the daze,
Chilling the rolling fears
Wrapped in a soothing caress
The fog slowly drifts away
Awaiting warmth
I lie with you in December days.
