WINTER DAY
Another spiteful day
Of bitter wind,
With ice
In the rain.
The only colour,
Small shoots
Of green wheat
Pushing through
Frozen ground.
The only comfort,
Your warm fingers
Curling around
Mine.
The only joy,
Your mouth
Hot as sunshine,
Bringing my cold lips
To life.

Would that I could give this two stars for it is lovely, and makes me feel better.
For now, the winter without has gone, but the winter within retains its icy claws.
