soft snow caresses my frostbitten hands

a little bit cold,but full of sordid beauty and despairing hope

crunchy white snow covers these winter wonderlands

weary from the troubles of the day,and you give me relaxation

 

(it’s warm somewhere else but i don’t want to go)

some think the daybreak brings the light

i know you bring the brightness in early spring,so

beautiful,orange to pink,shifting drowsily

 

the touch of hands is cold electricity,

fire and ice shifting in between,

between the two worlds of my poignancy

(warmth is not here but i continue to delay)

 

nothing i have ever seen is as lovely

as your eyes,the light shining

you bring a theme of light to my misery,

slowly descending on the broken shards of my heart

 

your eyes twinkle like the radiant stars

when i am with you,we bask in the luminous moonlight

we read the constellations and forget why we are

(but alas,your bliss never seems to remain)

 

petals, as smooth as shiny silk

violet eyes,burning bright red,

rosy pink,and white as milk

changing as you are,fiery then icy,

mine one day,then

swearing colorfully the next

orange fire in your words,(when

willilearnofyourtrueintentions?)

 

testing and balancing you and me

recklessness in your audacious actions,

(whenwillieverbefree?)

dramatic and lulling though you are,

i still love your nerve-wracking ways

acrobatic jumps and graceful leaps,

then you’ll slumber and dream for several(freeing)days

(and i shall not be yours to keep)

 

again and again and again

this cycle continues

we are running in a circle of madness

our fingers stretched out,aiming to catch the hand of the other,but

in our palms we hold the burning fire of id
