Blood of Winter

Blood of winter
stains the white
casting off
the frigid fright

moonlight splays
across the sheets
anartica's breath
the only heat

raindrops held
within the air
letting us know
winter's here

His blood thick
rich...sanguinary
into his mind
I long to tarry

Cool the boiling
the cauldrons hearth
blanketing all
a soft rebirth

one as he
melds with his title
sweet rarity
within to idle

into his veins
the darkness seeps
in arms of desire
I soundly sleep

each new year
the seasons grant
something new
to enchant

A dreamers orb
open wide
blood of winter
softly slides

crimson tears
coat his cheek
ever more
his soul to seek

let me hibernate
in snow dusted hills..
with blood of winter
freshly spilled...

{Dedicated to the special darkling, who few can match}
Blood of Winter...

"anartica's breath the only heat" there r many great lines in this poem, yet this is one of the most unique & original i've read in a long time. the oppossitions, like seasons and lovers, such an enigmatic thirst w/ the tongue u have.
