Wintery Heat

A blanket of white has envelopped the land

The era of quiet and cold is at hand

And among the particles of empty space

Beyond everything, all I see is your face

I am child of the sun, a creature of fire

The warmth of your heart is all that I desire

This blanket of white should extinguish my flame

But despite it, I will survive all the same

The light of your eyes, visible through the mist

Will break through the ice like an avenging fist

Your powerful heart, your blistering skin

Are hot enough to let me melt from within

You are my shelter, here love and safety meet;

My one and only, my wintery heat

You have always had such an emotive passion in your writing, and this truly does melt away the sting of winter's chill. Beautiful and moving in every way, Charlene.. you don't simply write poetry.. you are poetry.

I liked the idea of Wintery Heat. The contrast always creates a strong and clearer impact. Each complements the other.

Fire and ice, within and without. And even in winter your words speak of summer's heat. A beautiful blend of all that makes passion so worthwhile.
