Winter's Breath

I am a man of winter.

As darkness creeps in as a nebulous looming shade,

I welcome winter docking abreast my concrete style,

As I watch my breath dance to life with every exhale,

I see life tearing out from within my blissful soul,

Welcoming the escape from prisons of vitality and substance,

Chilled winds wrap me in warmth unburden of attire,

Season of reason wrought forth hushed thoughts and fears,

Leaves below tread as dreams long repressed,

I walk in upbeat tones to howling winds and falling snow,

My soul fueled by the frost bore my past,

My heart awakened by the harvesting of dreams.

Winter can be dreamlike...to me only by view, used to live in Indiana, dont think i could take t now lol but its good to see some people still love it.
"Chilled winds wrap me in warmth unburden of attire,"

Thank you VelvetRosetta - This came to me one day at work and I ran with it. Poems come to me for so many reasons at times it is shocking I have only been writing for a few years now.

I should have been writing years earlier, but then again I am a different man than I was then.

Same here I totally understand what you are saying I began about 7 yrs ago but feel I should have been doing it long before, but as you I am not the same person I was back then...thank goodness on my behalf.

I too love the winter- good job!

Thanks Alex - I am a rare bird that enjoys the white cold of the Midwest. Heat and I don't get along all that well.

I much prefer cold to heat as well. :)

As my grandfather said, you can always put more clothes on, but you can only take so much off before the law gets involved.

Nice XD Reminds me of Lorena Bobbit- the woman who cut off her husband's penis and threw it out the car window, thereby exposing not only herself to a charge of littering but also her husband to a charge of indecent exposure. XD (I may have gotten the name wrong)
