I have a love affair with winter
His breath puts color in my cheek
And sends a shiver down my spine
His character is anything but meek
Coolly, he states, “All this is mine.”
I have a love affair with winter
He stalks every being with ice
Lean deer frantically race away
For winter is anything but nice,
As we all perceive within a day.
I have a love affair with winter
On the coolest eve, he’s at his best
Demandingly, he reigns with white
His temperament allows no rest
He glories in his very might
I have a love affair with winter
And yet, when he loses his hold
I am glad to be free of his grasp
His weakness comes; I am told.
Spring, my friend, I clasp
