A Lover In Winter

Another winter now scores our years
But my gaze falls ever gently on you
Like the slow soft snowfall outside
It gently glides down your hair, your cheeks
Then melts away on the warm loved curves of your body
Be mulled this winter by love and passion
That make you tingle and be cosy inside
May you need no gloves but my cupped old hands
Nor wine to make your head spin and cheeks flush red
A look should do, a crinkled smile,
Eyes still bright and just for you
In this season for gifts and wishes
My humblest gift is just this
Be loved this winter
Beloved forever.
